Basically changed the cam timing 

and put longer intake stacks on to cope and give more mid range

we did this 4 years ago with Roddys and 5 years ago with Bazz's.

this is bad 

because if you add the electronics  they only reduce what you already have 

all the other manufacturers have more power which demand electronics to control it .

i'm gonna hang on, i like a nice handling bike ( i hear the piss takers Dr Evo can't ride) 

STOCK GEN2 shockers etc 

it means me having to spend more dosh upgrading Ohlins and front end, plus my carbon water ingress wheels  wont fit 

i need to spend another £5k to make it mike mine improved, i like more power and it will stick in my head it will be 15 rwhp down on mine  was at it height 195 hp

if stockGEN2 is 185 at wheels now its down ANOTHER 7 hp -  I WILL FEEL that 

no.... that ain't good

MCN worse on fuel from 50mpg to 42 mpg  

that won’t suit BHM DD3 176 miles from tank   he gets 245miles with his 19/40 gearing

needs the 3 cats removed and better cam

Oh I forget the hill hold for the infirmed  old gits 

[Dead DUCK 3 , DD3, The new generation GEN 3]

Better aerodynamic to counter the power loss 

[Dead DUCK 3 , DD3, The new generation GEN 3]

Of course the price rises with slip ones

heated grips , valve caps 

[Dead DUCK 3 , DD3, The new generation GEN 3]

£16,499 cheaper than I thought

Imperceptible reduction in top end power more low end and mid range 

lighter he says 

watched all the vid and the conclusion is I like it

In real time riding it has got to be the best ever 

i see now why ZZR1400 was withdrawn

So I'm guessing John will be able to upgrade the engine then

He needs a donor bike to feck it up first- then we can go to Malton

No mention of price and for you matt heated grips are extra

Because it isn't new....still 1340

 

Oh dear 

Will have to see how much power that US tuner can extract from new Pistons and secondary injectors delivering a fine must into the funnel

[Dead DUCK 3 , DD3, The new generation GEN 3]

Can't see any sign of new capacity

This 200hp, is it wheel or crank 

Curious to see what they do.  With some material changes they could muck about with bore and stroke using pretty much the same design instead of a complete new engine.

Don't some of the grasstrack crowd use short stroke cranks?  Would let them push the revs up a bit to get a headline figure.

Do we find out tomorrow?

 

7 am UK time - are you staying up

no 1400cc, no massive power gains, more like upgrade for electrics, chassis and smaller details in engine, also grips are mounted up and back , for aged riders who were young guys when the gen1 first was launched.

 

Question they all say its 200hp so if is still the old weak 1340 engine for it to be Euro 5 restricted as hell it has to be a bigger CC

As always, Ken knows what he is talking about,

i heard from reliable source that it will be disappointment for some/lots of people,

no 1400cc, no massive power gains, more like upgrade for electrics, chassis and smaller details in engine, also grips are mounted up and back , for aged riders who were young guys when the gen1 first was launched.

 

  

we will have to see what power Chris USA guy can extract over the Spring

Ps, Chris telling us about all the electronics on the new bike and how cool they are. Those will be the first things to hit the trash can

But if the Gen 3 is bigger than 1407 I may have to revist a shop up in Yorkshire 

not sure you can do much more as you have one of those fragile light blocks 

[Dead DUCK 3 , DD3, The new generation GEN 3]

Engine braking and anti wheelie

wonder if it has patented VVT installed ?

so whip the exhaust and get 220 at the wheels 

it certainly a way better bike than that whizzy supercharged H2 SX and probably lighter too
