Speeds for motorcycles being limited to 186 mph seems like a waste of the extra power, will get there quicker, but once there...then what?
Modifications have to occur to modify the electronics to allow it to pass the 186 barrier.....wonder what the price will be?
Maybe some of the technology on the C-14 will be incorporated into the new bike...we shall see shortly.....

Really? Waste of extra power? An extra 10mph is just a number on the gauge. Most folks wouldn't know if they were going 180 or 200 if they didn't have a speedometer. But acceleration you can feel.
I've studied everything I can on the new ZX. There is no concrete information but here is what I think based upon what I can find. I think it will have a 1440 cc approx (I think 1432 is the number going around), and it will have all the electronics of the ZX10R, and if we are lucky it might even have the ECO mode from the Concours. This would give it traction control, wheelie control and ABS (ABS likely to be optional). I don't expect an all new chassis but probably some upgrades to the suspension components.
We'll know for sure next Monday
