Saw the first test of this bike in MOTORCYCLIST, Mar 2012.
At the press release in Las Vegas Rickey Gadson turned a 9.61 @ 149.83 on a bone stock bike on his 1st pass.
Later, Kawasaki supplied Rickey with a lowered bike with 2 LESS teeth on the rear sprocket (but otherwise stock) and he was able to manage a 9.31 @ 151 mph. Rickey claims the bike is faster and easier to ride in the 1/4 mile with a smaller rear sprocket.
