the zx12 is a monster the zx14 is trash should of stood wit the zx12. i have raced on but the dude was huge so prolly doesnt count but i beat him so idk
dont know much about them, but down at the strip i go to there is a guy with a lowered, stretched 6", w/ a 40 shot, and i dont know what else, running 7.90's in 1000 ft. (the only track i have around and it's 1 1/2 hrs away) while my SWB lowered 1", and strapped w/ a PC3 and 1 tooth down 08 zx-10 was running 8.50's on the track with the original back tire(i was blowin the tire off). Seems pretty slow for the mods he was running and i'm very inexperienced at the strip although he beat me every time.
the 14 will eat a 12. I'm a straight liner, and I have more trouble out of the 14 than the 12's. stock vs stock the 10's will be in front until top end. that's where the 12 & 14 shine.
my gen 1 vs either in 1/8 mile i got em. switch to a mile top end race its a different story.
i have a 04 10 and a 02 12 both piped pc3 .i dont think there i much in it the 10 feels
a bit quicker to 100 from there on the 12 feels faster .i do a lot of tack days
mostly on the 10 .but take the 12 sometimes and it is about 5 or so mph faster on the straight according to my gps
I dont know much about them i did know a guy in my unit who had one and said he loved it. but he sold it.
My guess would be the 10 is quicker for short runs and the 12 being a bit bigger faster on the straights
Wow, my buddy has a modded 12r but he is about 270lbs! I've raced him with my 05 10r and I beat him really really bad. Not sure how it would do with a average weight rider on it.
in a 1/4 mile drag race the zx10s will do 5 to 6 mph more than the 12, that was the same day with me on both bikes, the 1/4 mile times were about the same cause you can launch the 12 a little harder
Well guy I must chime in here as i have an '05 10r sitting beside my '02 12r in the garage. I think the 10r would beat the 12r to 120 stock but my 12 isn't stock. It will walk away from the 10r at 120+ no problem. The 12 lags behind at lower speed thanks to excessive wheel spin through 2nd.
iv learned over the years ov racing,, that rider has a lot to do with it. but horsepower usally wins i believe in shut up and race what happens happens .iv never been beet by a 1000 i have alot ov bikes . i wanna race
I have both a 02 zx12r and a 04 zx10r they both post simular times in the 1/8th with me on it. The 10 runs about 6 to 7 miles a hour faster but the 12 launchs harder and both end up running simular times with me on it. I think the 12 is better for landspeed I think, more guys going over 200 on it then the 10 or 14.
I have saw/heard of a turbo 10 running 225 plus at land speed event.
On the same dyno my 10 made 164 and the 12 175. The 12 has nitrous also but I am not including those numbers in since the 10 doesn't on Nitrous it made 195. Both have full systems on them but the 10 has a evo titanum and the 12 the race system. I have heard that the evo makes a little more power.
I really like both bikes I have taken both to Motorsport Ranch and ran the road coarse no competion the 10 is way faster on that. I have also toured on both, the 12 is way better for that but loved doing it on the 10 also.
thats y i have so many bikes the all run and ride different the 10s are bad ass i dont get beat alot its always the 12s and 14s and busas but ther a dog till 6 grand campared to a liter bike
