What I would like to know quite frankly is the basics on where these 8 sec kinda stock new 10 is so much faster then the 05 10! literally im seeing 160hp on my 05, alot of dyno numbers are showing 166 to 186 on the new! im getting the diff being in the ecu being rewrote but what is the torque diff? no one ever posted stock numbers on the 05 like the 2011 and 2012, Its more than got me intriqued and thinking bout offing my 14 and my 10 for a new 10! Any info Im more than interested in seeing it!

Believe the hype...the new 10 is a beast!!! Just got a 2011 and i cant wait to set it up...its stock now...just a m4 slip on...163hp stock restricted...there is a green/red wireon the ecu you can ground it and it will unrestrict it...still need the flash for other stuff...ya from my research they are no joke!!!

dollar for dollar i think they are about the same. you can pick up a 04-05 cheap and mod the hell out of it and still run faster than the new ones. dont get me wrong i love the new 10 but i also like my one off 04.

before i tore mine down it went 5.37 at 131 with my 200lb ass on it. it had head cams and a 40 shot

Dont take it the wrong way but u got a real nice bike...coby head? 40 shot...long arm? Alot done to ur bike...tony ferland went 8.40s on extensions...foot shiftin...on his first pass with bolt on extension's ....no nos...just imagine what the new 10 will do with a coby head and arm and a 40 shot like your set up....and u got magnesium wheels....i dont think they compare

torque similar, 47mm tb/s compared to 43mm, 13.0 comp. verses 12.7, 400 lift int. cam verses 05 358, gen 4 ex. cam larger than 05 int., all tit. valves, larger 29 mm buckets, offset rods for less ring friction, recontoured ports. basically a evolutionized hopped up gen 1. btw my gen 1 runs 8.80 flat all day at 157-158 full street trim on extensions with very basic mods and toney aint ridin it. gen 4 is a bad fast bike, absolutley no disrespect intended. would be my first choice in a new bike, but the 7-8 yr old gen 1 aint no slouch either, especially for the diff. in $$$.

Either way whatever year zx10 you get and put money into they are all fast with lil to no mods unlike the zuki counter parts.

Thats what my dude said..he said lee has some nice bikes...i figured u might know him...sounds like a good dude...he is takin good care of my dude...felt bad for him...bought a bike from some shop down there and it blew up 3 days after he got it..he only had it out twice...

04/05 have different compression and I also am interested to c the final outcome with the new zx the cams and ports are do big and on kill to begin with is there any real room for improvements we all know how easy it is to get to a certain time on a certain bike/set up but the next tenth is a bitch I personally don't think that a fully built 2011 is goin to beat a fully built 04/05 in same conditions with same rider but that's my opinion don't c it happening

Tony rides the hell out if that bike we have same home track and ill tell u this joe smoe isn't goin near those times regardless of weight u add Tony's weight and ability and that time will not be matched period but I do believe stock motor with other mods the newer bike will b faster but if u build both bikes top to bottom and close in weight ill take the 04

It's all in the head and throttle bodies guys, Volumetric efficiency--- the more air you can get into an engine at higher rpm's the higher the torque curve moves and that EQUALS more horsepower.

I think instead of gen 4 they should really be called the "big cam motor" because that intake cam is really bigger than the other ones.
