how about we settle it this way,i spend $5000.00 building a 900/1000 and you spend $5000.00 building a 650 and we compare notes at track midway for both of us? B)
we can do just like the magazines do compare them on the road,on the drag strip and roadcourse track

Well, it ought to tell you that you're wrong, otherwise there wouldn't be any disagreement :laugh:

I've had 1000's, but never had one as fast as the 750 Turbo :)

Just to bring some scientific validity to this topic, I downloaded 2 photos. One of a 750, the other a 1000. Both the same size file.

I timed the downloads and the 1000 one ....Hands Down!!! Does that satisfy you :silly:

This thread is kinda funny because it is very unlikely that anybody has bought an air-cooled Kawasaki for it's performance in atleast 25 years.

Never seen a factory stock 1000 turbo, and the stock 1000 frame is hardly strong enough for the stock hp.

Z1RTC was not produced by Kawasaki, it was aftermarket on a stock frame. And IMHO the only Kawasaki ever made that handled worse than the 500 triple.

Some people do like the 650/750 better than the 1000, me among them.

Heck, I like my 750 twin better than any of the fours, so you probably shouldn't pay any attention to me at all :laugh:
