Available early 2009.... it's too long to wait, lust, lust, oooohhhh.... lust.

I don't get it, that engine will not hold any oil ply the compression will be a bit low on that cylinder.

better off fitting a car engine.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what engine is it from?

I'm guessing GSXR. If I'm right do I get a prize?

It's the new GSXR1000 K9.
I took this at the NEC yesterday.

So, so beautiful.

I can't see an engine coming through the normal channels ready for the 2009 season though.

mmmm! i wanty!
whats the power output? around 180hp?
have you seen the new yamaha r1? its gorgeous!

Heard a few guys not enjoying the colours of the new R1 at the show.... each to his own importances.
Yes, the new R1 is rather lovely, mechanically and visually.
The ZX10 has changed in colour only, that lovely compact (very compact) engine is still the same as the 2008 model.

New GSXR1000 is apparently good for over 180bhp out of the box, which compares very well with my race-built early K's. When I get my hands on a K9 we'll know if it's any stronger in the mains/rods area.

I kinda have an affection for the Suzuki units, despite some of the problems others have had, they've served me well (ASWMC sprint championship 2007 and 2008).
