Kawasaki ER6n chasing Suzuki GSX- R 1000 at Thailand Circuit Jan 8th, 2011

Great riding dude. That 1000 obv had the juice on the straights but in a short, tight track like that it looked like you reeled him in.  I noticed your bike didn't have a tach or speedo on it. What's the dealio? Did you remove them for track use? Are they not allowed?

3:37 he going too fast and too wide.

[Motasaikuru]

Awesome riding! What modifications have you made to your bike besides the exhaust and clipons? Did you need to install any aftermarket rear sets for clearance?

[marcnisam]

@Motasaikuru

PCV, Airbox mod, race rearsets, YSS rear shock, front dropped 20mm, that's about it!

Let the Good Times ROLL!

The Gixxer rider rly sucked lmao, the 1000 can blow away the ER6N in speed and cornering, its a lighter and way more powerful bike with much better suspension

[marcnisam]

@Bulgdoom

Sure on a big fast track with long straights the Gixxer will rule, but on a small technical track like this there are few places where you can tap the power of the Gixxer and lap times are all about cornering speed.

Also, my mate on the Gixxer had never been on this track before while I've ridden it a few times. No doubt with a bit more practice he'll be leaving me in the dust ;-)

@Bulgdoom

Oh, and FYI, my ER6n "RR" is quite a bit lighter than a Gixxer K8 in street clothes ;-)

@Bulgdoom er6n is better in curves but being a 1000 it's just too much to handle, probably with a gsx600 we'd probably see that er6n is a lot better in curves, it got the handlebar long enough to win curves over the gsx.

Stupid question of the day, is that bike still street legal? XD

[ThunderofBkk]

Bakerboy!!! did you forget the morning ciggie again? 

[alehax27]

what tires do you use?

[marcnisam]

@alehax27

Pirelli Diablo Superbike :-)

ER6n did really well against a 1000... GSXR was the boss on the straights!!! What happen to the GSXR at the end??? Did that rear tire blow???

[marcnisam]

@frontier1701

Yeah, the Gixxer has WAY more power than the ER6n, but the ER6n is pretty nimble through the corners so made it a fun chase!

Gixxer hit the end of the straight a bit too fast and couldn't quite make the corner ;-) Smoked the rear tire a bit before exploring the daisies (^_^)v
