The best japanese

[RAMMIUS]

Personally I prefer the looks and performance of R1 , although I wouldn`t mind to own a Gixxer or an RR , the Kawa though too wild

What do you prefer and why ?

[Honda_PoD]

ZX-12R thank you

[maxbg]

In my opinion, The best creation that comes out from the land of the rising sun is none other than the Vmax !!!!!!



20years and still going strong.

I have both the R1 and Vmax...... I prefer the Max over the R1.

[RAMMIUS]

^^^^^ Both you say ? That`s impressive man ! Congrats.

1198cc, liquid-cooled, 16-valve, DOHC, 70° V-4, shaft drive. Looks interesting. What do V-4's sound like stock and with aftermarket exhaust? I know the Vmax has power, but how does it handle compared to your R1? I am assuming you prefer the Vmax over the R1 because of the low range power.

The bike is actually conceived in USA with Ed Burke as the primary designer. The legendary V4 is designed from the Royal star engine with the internals modified for 143bhp with the trademark Vboost system.

The Vboost system kicks in at 6000rpm and above all the way to the 9500rpm redline. This is the time where a butterfly valve opens to allow 2 CV carbs to feed the mixture into 1 cylinder.The feeling is very close to a turbocharged bike. So to sum up, this is the only naked bike that has strong lowend torque and also dizzying top end hp.

I had a supertrapp installed previously and the thing sounds like like a Chevy V8. Stock 1/4 mile stands at low 11s to high 10s.

There really is no ONE best. This question will always be answered subjectively. For instance, I think the current R1 is the best japanese liter bike on the market right now (which is why I bought it), where someone else may pick the ZX10 or 1000RR as being the best in their minds.

This might be one of the most absurd things said on JW. This would and could only be said by someone who has absolutely no knowledge of motorcycles at all.
Good job.

^ I ignored that comment about the jap bikes Min, but you took the words right out of my mouth

The 06 R1 looks great in the yellow and I can see me trading the 7R in next year, $ permitting!
