Have you guys heard of an 800cc Ninja, this was news to me but it sounds like a badass bike!



The Kawasaki Racing Team debuted a very different version of their 800cc Ninja ZX-RR this morning, much to the surprise of all the other teams currently testing at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia.

While the Ninja ZX-RR on which Kawasaki test rider, Tamaki Serizawa, headed out for his first run of the day may have looked identical to those of his fellow Kawasaki pilots, the high-pitched exhaust note as he accelerated down pit lane was a clear indication to everyone that looks can be deceptive.

By the time the Japanese rider crossed the start finish line at the end of his out lap, the pit wall was lined with people keen to discover for themselves what the strange noise was.

 

Yes, that is MotoGP. The entire class switched from 1000 to 800 2 seasons ago.

MotoGP are non-production bikes, and are pretty much pure-prototype. Figure on paying over a million US for one. They will be racing in Indy for the first time in Sept. Hence the MotoGP thread at the top

 

No thanks, I'll just stick with the 14 for 11.5K. and it's faster at least on the straights.

 

can't wait for September!
