Check out the first monster battle of 2008.
In this video we pitch the new Kawasaki
ZX-10R against the Yamaha R1 - our superbike
of choice for 2007. The ZX-10R has already
ripped up the rule book by producing a
staggering 170bhp - 8bhp more than the R1. It
also flew down our test track at a genuine
184mph, in the wet! But for this test we take
both bikes to Brands Hatch and put them
through their paces, to find out if all this
is enough for the Kawasaki to knock the
Yamaha off its perch. Read more about this
monster battle in this week's MCN. Tags :RoadtestMCNMotorbikeMotorcycleKawasakiZX-10RR1Yamaha
When the Yamaha R1 first arrived on the
superbike scene a decade ago it represented
the next evolution of the open class
sportbike motorcycle. Ten years later the R1
is still on the cutting edge of literbike
design.
