Default Wind Tunnel Test Zx14 Vs. Hayabusa Vs. Zx10r Vs. Gsxr 1000

looks like that 1999 technology still works pretty good.

someone should look up the numbers for cars...

i think the new vett is something like .25 to the bikes .4 something



damn good thing the zx10 has more hp or it would lose up top to the 1k.


also I wonder how much effect the bike running at redline, sucking in a ton of air out of the front end and dumping in out the back into the wake, would change the numbers..

In all the pics... only the short rider has his head positioned to be able to look ahead... the big goons are looking at the tank... i wonder if the small tilt to be able to look ahead would change the numbers much & affect the results of the tall vs short.

i'm wondering who rides looking at the tank because a couple of seconds like that and you wouldnt have to worry about the areo anymore while your sliding down the road.
