Speed test: S1000RR v RSV4 v Hayabusa v ZZ-R1400

20 years after the launch of the original hyperbike, Kawasaki's ZZ-R1100, superbikes like BMW's S1000RR are now so fast they're rendering the Hayabusa and co. irrelevant... Or are they? Read the full test in this week's MCN, on sale Wednesday 19 May 2010.

i'm a proud owner of a yamaha r1'05 i can say that 1000 cc+ sportbikes are unbelievable fast. There is nothing ( sex included ) that make you feel so much emotions...:)

that loose grass on the track is fucking frightening

@Ulixunda

I was minding my own business whapping my R1 round SIlverstone when I got chance to take a BM 1000RR round.

The difference was like getting off a 600 onto a thou.

Incredible.

And the brakes! fkme I thought I'd hit a wall!

If you have not ever experienced what 180 to 200 MPH feels like, you don't know jack about two things in life: 1)Freedom and 2)Natural Adrenaline rush.

It's beautiful.....

@Ulixunda Except for a girl on a period, apparently that gets you alot of emotions

@deromegadrei my previous bike was a naked ( honda hornet ) and i've drove a lot of 1000cc+ nakeds like z1000 , B-King etc.. They was really brutal and I liked it, but I like to drive on tracks were the sportsbikes rules and immo most of the sportsbikes are better looking then nakeds...except some like speed triple, that I really like.

@jsmorel86 "Zed" comes from the original Greek zeta via Old French zede, and pretty much all English speakers worldwide pronounce it

[deromegadrei]

@Ulixunda and if you've got real balls of steel you get a naked bike of 1100cc and fight the wind with your body :P

ZX12R eats Busa's for breakfast! Busa might launch faster but at over 220 the Ninja takes it.
