    Perhaps they realized that no one will use all that power.

    Looking forward to seeing this bike in person. Wonder if it's going to topple the S1000RR

    Re: 2011 ZX10 sales on hold

    I read somewhere that they mistakenly used a part in some engines that looks exactly like the part that's supposed to go in, but that's not up to spec in some other way (presumably metallurgy or something). So they have to check all previously-assembled engines to make sure the wrong part wasn't used.

    Edit: here's where I read that:

    • Those who have taken delivery of a unit will be instructed to return the unit to the dealership for a full refund and will be among the first to have the option of receiving a new unit once the technical hold has been lifted.
    Wow, that's gotta cost Kawi a lot, because then they couldn't sell customers bikes as new! Maybe soon you could get a factory inspected, pre-owned bike for cheap?

    If it was an engine issue I'd think they'd do a recall like Aprillia did. I'm guessing it's a safety issue that can't be remedied at the local dealer.
