GSX-R1000 vs. SevenEleven When
I came across this dyno print of a Yoshi GSX-R1000 and noticed it
gave less torque than my bike I decided to plot my power curves
into the GSX-R1000 printout. I
will explain what happens... between 2000 and 4500rpm the new injection
system with the two butterfly valves and the "EXUP" system
in the exhaust make sure the GSX-R1000 pulls cleanly from idle,
then on the 7/11 the Mikuni RS's can be fully opened and let it
pull away from the GSX-R1000... because the carbs on the 7/11 are
only 36mm torque starts dropping after 7500rpm but the GSX-R1000
just keeps revving and revving and... The wide spread of power across the rev range will give the GSX-R1000 a clear advantage on the road, but you can see that our oil-cooled friends are still going strong. Fit a big-bore kit and 38mm carbs and you'll dwarf the GSX-R... for a lot less money than trading in against a GSX-R1000! Ofcourse the GSX-R1000 has much better chassis technology, but the much bigger testicle size of an oil-cooled rider will compensate for that ;-) Units: Power in hp and Torque in lb-ft |
