Re: 2016 ZX10R
Noooo - not the semi active suspension. I think you should have proper suspension that you adjust yourself and it stays as you made it - it doesn't change itself half way through a corner

Re: 2016 ZX10R
Reigning World Superbike Champion Jonathan Rea got his first taste of the 2016 Kawasaki Superbike this afternoon at Jerez but even though his initial outing was curtailed by wet weather in the morning at the Spanish track he says the bike is a big step forward. Rea concentrated on just the 2016 bike after team-mate Tom Sykes had done some work on a hybrid 2015/2016 version at Aragon, and carried out some chassis work to find out where the optimum parameters are. The Castletown man put in 44 laps today and the team will also test some new parts tomorrow.
“Today was productive even though we missed the morning session. We worked solely on the 2016 bike and I had a great initial feeling with the bike. It really is quite different and although we have taken big step forward I have some issues to iron out before we can be really satisfied,” said Rea, speaking to bikesportnews.com from the track. “We also tested some different chassis geometries to find out the parameters to work with the new bike. Tomorrow we have another list of new items to test but we try will try to evaluate everything clearly before continuing in Motorland in a few weeks.” -

Re: 2016 ZX10R
I imagine all the other wsbk teams will be bricking it about Sykes and JR on such an improved zx10r which was pretty dominate before any revisions tbh.

Re: 2016 ZX10R
Although saying that I really hope the British based Crescent Pata squad are competive quickly with their new R1.

Re: 2016 ZX10R
I would love for any bike besides the BMW to win something.. too many people have them on the road and all riders have an air of arrogance which is repellant lol.
Still no news of a new bike by Suzuki though....

Re: 2016 ZX10R
To be honest when did BMW win something apart from what Dunlop did at the 2014 TT but that was Dunlop and not BMW imo.
