smooth and gains revs in a linear fashion, my GPz550 was like an electric turbine it just went from 0 to 10,000 rpm like an electric engine, no definable power pulses and got to redline in an instant. No flywheel effect.

I rode both the ZX10 and ZX7 in the picture I was impressed, the 7 of course does not have the meaty low down grunt of the 10 but it still gets along quickly. I also rode the Ninja 650 in the picture.
??? That's a Z-1000. Great bike though. The bike next to it looks like a Z-750. They're closer to a steet fighter while the ZX-10 is a full-on sport bike with fairing and body panels to match. Easy on the Fosters mate :-) J/k

Was just questioning the terms electric and turbine used together. Electic and engine dont really go together either as far as I know. Should be electric motor. I would say and electric engine would be the thing that pulls a train powered by overhead electical lines.
Just sayin'

No worries. Its one of those that I key in on, probably becuase one of the things I do is service high pressure air compressors which are usually driven by an electric motor. I constantly get phone descriptions of the "motor" leaking air/oil or something being wrong with the "Generator" and I cant say anything to them becuase they are customers.

When I first read your post I was not sure if you ment electric motor or gas turbine but I did know what you were conveying
