I think the loss of hp on the -10 is a legitimate gripe for track use, but c'mon, in real world bike use on public roads whether you have 135 or 150 hp available at the top end is insignificant. Now a reflash can help in throttle response and in other areas and that's all good, but the added hp is just for braggin' rights. Even the pro riders said they really couldn't feel the deficiency in the -10's power on the road. If you really want to go faster on the -10, or any bike for that matter, get some professional training and go to the track. Just stacking on more raw hp doesn't really do much for the average, or above average, rider. Not sure I agree with your first sentence. I was two seconds faster on Laguna Seca and Sonoma on my '08 R6 than I was on my '05 GSX-R1000. On a bigger, more open track I was faster on the 1K (for obvious reasons) but power isn't everything. The FZ-10 has more than enough RWHP at 135, but a simple, inexpensive re-flash get's you right in the thick of the HP game with the rest. And then you have yourself Yamaha reliability and handling at a lower MSRP and overall cost of ownership for the complete package win. Smart money goes to the FZ-10, no question. |
