hopefully its been to fast for everyone. :wink:
its on 17 inch wheels,
at the moment its got 125/80-17 and 195/70 17 tyres and the wheels are both dymag. I'll probably go for some pirelli supercorser's in more standard sizes.
Need to check with my other mate who does the tyres for padgetts.


Not fast enough Floyd Panigale is a true 205bhp at the rear wheel on Jhp dyno, 1198 has more torque that a Volvo fm16 750

Just for you Nick :wink:


TBH, I'm getting too old now - wouldn't trust myself to cope with one of those beasts... thats why I went for the Leman :shock:


They still don't do much for me compared to old stuff ......

Nick,
2 great looking Dukes and I assume they are both John Hacket tuned who is a master at his craft. You just cannot describe the drive you get out of corners with those big V-twins. Great tools for road and track days.

this old zed made 190bhp reving til 10500rpm ,im gunna take it to 12-12500rpm when shes back on the dyno & I expect her to make 200bhp then,you can ride her around town at 2000rpm in top gear,think it made about 110lb of torque as well
so you can still have your old zed & plenty of speed :wink:

NOW THAT IS THE DOGZ :twisted:

So, a 40 yr old design can make a modern plastic rocket seem a bit.... irrelevant :|
