2012 Japanese Superbike Shootout After all players riding on their
respective introductions, we knew it was time once again to compete against
each other for Japanese liter bike domination. Please
read the respective histories for details on the upgrades, because we evaluate
here, as they are to be compared. With
improved chassis, the CBR, the GSX-R, the revised engine and upgraded brakes,
and the addition of traction control on the YZF-R1, the ZX-10R some stiff
competition this year.
2012 Japanese Superbike Shootout In the hype is all that is needed to win shootout would be comparisons, the new Ducati Pan gale 1199 to have it in your pocket. We have to prove the fact that this year's liter bike range would be closer than most think. Welcome to Motorcycle.com is 2012 liter bike shootout, Part One.
Instead of a mega-trial with each candidate, we decided to split the shootings, followed by the first four Japanese liter bikes, through a separate test with the Euro-brands. The winners will face off in a head-to-head race in part three.
All four bikes in this test are very comparable in price, and differs only slightly from the $ 13,799 GSX-R1000, $ 13,800 CBR1000RR $ 13,990 YZF-R1 ($ 14,490 for the world's 50th anniversary color scheme), the $ 13,999 ZX 10R. With almost identical price tags, each machine still has its own personality. Looking at the dyne charts,
The Kawasaki has to beat the other in terms of peak power, but look closer and you'll notice that the Suzuki and Honda suffers compared to 10,000 revolutions per minute. This is also the Yamaha.
Based on this information provides the new Suzuki motor to the healthiest shown. Have been tested in comparison to the last Fixer Thou we, the 2012 version generous bump in power 5000-8500 revolutions per minute and results in impressive numbers to above (156.3 hp) has. Dyne jockeys could claim to have this test on the Kawasaki, with its 160.5 hp peak power on, but its mid-range performance is weaker than all but the Yamaha.
Meanwhile, Honda and Yamaha highlight of each plateau around the 10,000-minute mark, with 145 horsepower, more or less. But the way she is completely different there.
The R1 is the best-in-class performance at 4500 rpm, especially sagging during the CBR comes on strong and turns the tables - at 6000 rpm, the Honda coincides almost a 20-horse advantage over the Yamaha, and almost, as most Fixer thick robust in the medium speeds. Although Honda claims that any changes to the CBR engine showed our dyne test, a hole to be filled at 3500-4500 revolutions per minute and a slight decrease in performance over 10,000 revolutions per minute.
As usual, we took each equipped bike on the streets of Southern California, with the OE tires. We logged in highway miles, city miles and miles of canyon to get a feel for each machine. To really put it to the test, we are each equipped with Pirelli Russo Corse tires and they took to the streets of Willow Springs race track to see, add our friends from Moto yard, as they managed in an environment free of speed limits.
Once the riding was over, we counted our values and came up with a winner. Read on to see how we feel about ourselves each wheel, both on the road and at the track.
