Hi

looking at a "F" model here in California.
Since they don't offer test ride, I'm trying to compare it to the bikes that I own (Bandit 1200, FZ1, ZRX and ZX12R)
Any definitive answer as to the stock RWHP?
And what about 1/4 mile ?
Have being looking all around the web and could not find any 1/4 mile
Thanks for the help

Not quite a quarter mile (400m) but near enough.

All the dyno tests I have seen on line (and that appear legitimate) have rwhp in the range of 142-145 or so. With work upper 140s to low 150 seem possible. RK Performance posted their results on a thread here which looks like a good indication of what to expect.

I like this Dyno sheet

Motorcycle Consumer News in their latest edition reported a quarter mile time of 10.54 for the unfaired version. Its fast.

Thanks everyone

Rusty:

Are you talking about the American magazine or from another country?
Any link to the article?
If correct 1/4 mile, it would be exactly the same than my 2004 FZ1
Motorcycle Consumer News tested it back then and it was 10.55 @ 129.7 mph
Rear wheel HP was 124.9
Little disappointed if true.
Still very good numbers but we are almost 15 years later (test was of a 2001 fZ1)

Motorcycle news 06/07/2015 test rode the F version. 1/4 mile time 10.7secs, top speed 160. 38mpg.

Even more confusing now.

Its hard to believe that if the bike really has 145hp at the rear wheel, the 1/4 mile would be that high.
I know that in the USA, some magazines report it as crank HP.
That would make more sense with maybe be a 130 or so HP at the rear wheel.

Do appreciate the help

Yes it is the American magazine. I dont have a link.

I don't know if EU version is different to USA version, but some Italian magazine test a GSX-S and find about 144 / 146 hp at rear wheel.
Acceleration is near to BMW S1000R and better than other naked bike like Kawa and other.

Tomorrow I will scan the page and post here.

Take a look here...

Did find the MCN test

10.53 @ 135.2mph

Rear wheel hp:136.5
Rear wheel tq:71.61 lb.front

So compared to my FZ1 we have 11.5 more hp, 2.5 less torque, same 1/4 mile time ( 10.53 to 10.55) and about 50lbs less weight
With all those numbers I would have expected low 10 in the 1/4

I believe there is a limit how fast a bike can be. Compare the times with R1 or H2 to older sportbikes then I dont think the times are that much different.
If you look beyond 1/4 miles times and look how you do most of your driving then GSX S1000 is probably a quicker bike.

If you find these numbers intresting then take a look here.

BMW S1000R / Suzuki GSX S1000
0-100km/h: 3.3 s / 3.0 s
0-200km/h: 8.1 s / 8.5 s
100-140km/h: 2,9 / 3.3 s
140-180km/h: 2,8 /3.5 s

Kawasaki H2
0-100km/h: 3.1 s
0-200km/h: 7.0 s
100-140km/h: 3.1 s
140-180km/h: 3.0 s

its kinda subjective... it depends of the air temp and drag strip or track,
some track has track bite all te way to the finish line

Sport Rider quoted the naked at 10.6 for the quarter with a terminal of 214 km/hr (133mph in old money).

So what the **** did they do to it for another 40 HP?

I have wondered if the k5-6 gsxr cams bolted straight into the GSXS
