Peter Lietz the lightning quick Kawa dealer in Amstetten was also present at the presentation ZX 10 in Florida. His first experience with the new Kawasaki horsepower monster make you want MUCH green PS.
So far, the Peter "Don Pedro" Lietz a real super sports fan was 2 years ago, he attacked with his 748er, last year he was with the Kawasaki ZX6-R in Kawa Cup traveling. After the first few laps with the new ZX 10 R on the race track in Homestead, he was fascinated by the lively handling of the 1000. "Can go to Incredible! Like a 600, a bit thick, the 190 tire is noticeable but no exaggeration to speak of handling 600".
No wonder! The new ZX10 is more just 9 kg as the little sister. Not least because it has been eliminated from Kawasaki to current fads (underseat exhaust) and has instead worked toward compromised race suitability.
Before departure for the United States, I was almost sure that the Pedro Lietz is a victim of a ferocious Highsiders certainly. With this test the ZX 10 so was his toughest opponent in Kawa Cup - Richi Holzer of the Bike City. The unbridled ambition coupled with 180 horses on a not exactly blessed with grip racetrack will surely take their toll. But it all turned out quite differently. The ZX10 R is shockingly easy to control. No wild beast which motivated over Racing Heroes of the saddle is boxing. The power is always a manageable and controllable. Nevertheless, there are massive push forward and the compulsory wheelie at the finish line too easily succeed in the 3rd Transition.
The engine is tuned very clean and runs like a sewing machine. Only in the first Disturbed gait easy load change behavior.
As with the ZX6 last year also inspire this year at the ZX 10 the fantastic brakes. Extremely snappy and excellent control. What makes us even more excited is of course the murderous look. For the first time ever, the standard wave discs and the brilliant black fork lowers.
Meanwhile, standard in the class already, the radial-mount calipers.
Despite the radically trimmed for handling the machine geometry and the high-speed range remains very stable and confidence to win immediately. In the hard racing use Pedro Lietz would nevertheless fit a steering damper. By fast acceleration out of the corner or small peaks on the track you regret the investment certainly not.
Especially the standard slipper clutch it has the Pedro particularly impressed. For every sincere Racing use requires this part anyway, and at the Kawa saves you the investment of about € 700-1000. The helper works very well and provides a lot of safety when braking and improves also Schlampigkeitsfehler.
In this class rule so luckily not only hp and kg but manufacturers also offer some fine features to stand out from the competition. Sun sets with the new Yamaha R1 on very aggressive design, the ZX 10 is the only slipper clutch and Honda Wave discs and focuses on high-tech, such as the electronically controlled steering damper. The choice for merchant will not fall so easily. Only the Kawa fans have to buy a long wait for probably no other choice than the new green Superbike. Former ZXR 750 drivers have surely now the savers in the visor and slide in the winter without overtime to end in the spring for merchant not to stand with empty hands. Amidst all the euphoria we will not forget one thing: EUR 15,599, -. This sum you have to first get through the times not just motorcycle-friendly Family Committee. No easy task. Since a lot of prep work in the winter is necessary.
Let's do share a nice word play. Suppose the wife / girlfriend wins the lottery and assumed she is so nice and gives us 15,599 euros with the words "Buy yourself something nice sweetie". What color would you choose?
