2012 Kawasaki ZX-14R Comparisons – Part 2

PL — Sat, 12 May 2012 11:01:46 +0000

Welcome to Part 2 of my ZX-14R comparison is with the 2nd generation Suzuki Hayabusa.

The 2nd generation Hayabusa has not received an engine update since introduction and is now about 100cc short on the 2012 model ZX-14R. In motorcycle terms the 100cc is massive difference. Hence the updated ZX-14R 1441cc engine should easily be [...]

Motorcycle Special Feature (September 2005)

PL — Sun, 06 May 2012 11:18:15 +0000

Welcome to my first special features page. These titled pages will contain, from time to time special information and pictures you will probably not find in any other place on the internet. Note the term probably! (2012 Update: I’ve edited the entry when I transferred the page!)

About time you say I set up a [...]

2010 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Vs 2010 BMW S1000RR

PL — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 11:08:19 +0000

This page is a specification comparison between the Suzuki GSX-R1000 and the BMW S1000RR. The S1000RR is BMW’s first genuine supersports bike so it will be of historical note. Everything about the S1000RR has been designed to beat the existing Japanese domination of 1000cc super sports class and by the looks of things they have. The [...]

2010 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Vs 2010 Yamaha YZF-R1

PL — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 10:53:17 +0000

This page is a specification comparison between the Suzuki GSX-R1000 and the Yamaha YZF-R1. These are two of my favourite sports motorcycles, the other one being the Honda CBR-1000RR. Note that manufactures don’t update their models every year as in the past decade!

The two super sport bikes are potentially the fastest and best handling [...]

2010 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Vs 2010 Kawasaki ZX-10R

PL — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 10:48:48 +0000

This page is a comparison between the Suzuki GSX-R1000 and the Kawasaki Zx10-R. The Kawasaki ZX10-R is not a favourite of mine I prefer the other models in the Kawasaki range like the Z1000 or the ZX14 the time of writing this page. If I was going buy a 1000cc sports bike it the ZX10 [...]

2010 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Vs 2010 Honda CBR1000RR

PL — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 10:33:50 +0000

This page is a comparison between the 2010 Suzuki GSX-R1000 and the 2010 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade. The Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is a favourite of mine along side the Suzuki and Yamaha at the time of writing this page. The Fireblade is the first example of Honda’s new design and styling theme and I describe it as retro/futuristic/anime [...]

Motorcycle sales figures

PL — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 10:08:57 +0000

The page details the Australian motorcycle landscape. Essentially these are publicly available statistics (media releases) and the FCAI related to motorcycle sales in Australia.

I decided to collect this information as it will allow those who ‘came late’ to the world of motorcycles. Aside from that I am genuinely interested in what goes on outside [...]
