Hello everyone i'm new to this board. I own a 2002 zx12 and my wife owns a 2000zx12. A friend of mine owns a 2002 gsx1000.
02 blue stock 153 hp- rider weight 210
02 gsxr stock 138 hp- rider weight 300 same dyno same day. 16 hp advantage zx12!!!
I beat him barely with my 12 from off the line and low 1st gear roll-ons thru the gears up to 150 or so then my 12 starts to pull. Must be a combo of aerodynamics and hp. However, if we roll on in the same gear at any given speed his bike pulls mine by a couple of bike lengths. Hmm! I then geared my bike (one down in the front) and we raced again. This time i beat him from a 1st gear roll thru 4th by 3bike lengths or so. We roll on from second or any other gear. (We both start in the same gear) and this time its about dead even race with the 12 barely pulling. Both of us take turns saying go, much like the fastbike video guys doing it. Who ever hit the throttle first got a slight advantage, but both agree the sprocket change gave the edge to the 12. He then gets a pc3r and akro pipe, 1tooth in front sprocket. (Result a 10 hp gain.) He now beats me on rollons by a couple of bikes. We took the bikes to the dragstrip in roswell nm 3500ft. I ran a best of 10.72@134mph. and riding my buddies gsxr1000 netted 10.99 132.68. I had a difficult time keeping the front end down otherwise the gxr would have gotten a better mph reading. My whole point of this is do not underestimate gsxr1000. Once I get my yosh pipe I should be able to take him.
