Check out the traction control kicking in, hear the Leo Vince in action
Yesterday I was at PDQ, running the ZX-10R up on the dyno with the new Leo Vince GP Pro fitted. You can see the PDQ dyno graphs here.
It's a Leo Vince GP Pro end can plus decat pipe.
First, we were caught out with the traction control kicking ... Continue reading
Lots of noise but what about the power gains?
Took the 10R to PDQ today to get it up on the dyno now that I've got the Leo Vince pipe on.
A couple of months ago I not only fitted the ZX-10R GP Pro end-can but also the decat link-pipe as the 10R's standard cat ... Continue reading
Is this Mecca for bikers. Or just a damp car park?
Last weekend I went to Box Hill, I hadn't been for at least 5 years. I woke up on Sunday morning and had the urge to check it out on my way to Brighton for Brightona.
I used to go to Box all the time when I was 21 and had a ... Continue reading
Woaah, my eyes!
I'm really not sure about the colour scheme on this 10R. It's a US-spec machine and we all know the Yanks are a bit special. I can't see Kawasaki Europe bringing this one in, but then you never know..
What do you think to it? Dennis the Menance has allegedly got one ... Continue reading
Kawasaki's flagship sportsbike has a few tricks up its sleeve
The traction control is this bike's best asset
On track, it's a fantastic way to help you go faster. On the road, it's perfect for building confidence. Doubters say it takes the skill out of riding but if you pay attention to what it's doing, it'll help you build control with ... Continue reading

Leo Vince claim good power gains but it's the 12.5kg weight saving I'm after most
It's not like my 10R lacks power; 173bhp on the dyno, to be precise. It was the claimed weight savings that made me think it would be worth spending a morning skinning my knuckles and swearing at inanimate objects. Leo Vince reckon the GP Pro exhaust is 78% lighter than the ... Continue reading

How do you get a ZX-10R to go fast down the strip? Give it to this man.
Check out this video from our friends over at Cycle World magazine. 9-time AMA Dragbike champion Rickey Gadson puts a stock 2011 ZX-10R through its paces and then sets about the task of bolting on some performance parts to make it go faster. The result? A 9.40s quarter-mile @ 155mph. ... Continue reading
A handy addition for the daily commute...
My unmarked brake lever shows I havent clunked any car mirrors, yet.. I seem to do it though, once or twice a year and I reckon it's only a matter of time before I don't get away with it. Continue reading
Stock ZX-10R goes up against S1000RR and Fireblade
Last week I took my 2011 ZX-10R to PDQ to get it run up on the dyno. You can see the video here.
The horsepower result on its own looks good; 173.14bhp @ 12,5000rpm. However, the torque figure isn't quite what I expected. At 74ftlb, it's strong but it's ... Continue reading
Thanks to the British weather, no less...
Sykes hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire with his results in World Superbikes but his pole at Misano is well worth a mention. In the wet - but drying - conditions, Sykes claimed the all-new ZX-10R's first pole position in WSB.
Funny then that his last pole was in similar ... Continue reading
