    That's in 6th gear stuff, I'm not sure it really means anything.

    They show 1000RR's doing sub 10 second 1/4's. I thought that Busa's and ZX14's were the only ones doing that factory.

    If I remember correctly, Kent Kunitsugu of Sport Bike magazine broke into the high 9's on a stock Kawasaki ZX9 some years back. That was the first stock bike to do so.

    Dude - where have you been? Damn near all the liter sport bikes are sub 10's now.

    Kunitsugu is a very good rider. Yup he did 9s back when on the kawi.

    I am guessing the front sprocket difference between the 5th & 6th gen might be the culprit... doesn't the 6th gen gain a tooth to 17 on the front sprocket?

    i cant rember exactly which mag it was but i think one mag did a lil thing with some late model 600s i think it was like a 06 636 and they put very limited amount of money into it like 600$ or something and ran in the high 9's and i remember one of the things was straps for the front end.
