When is skidoo going to show us whats in store.  

I though it was FEB 1st.  

I cant wait for the new mach (OH pLEASE LET THERE BE ONE)  Im sure it will kill the RX-1 and all the other MachZ wanna bes.

Machzzzz1,I saw on the cat thread that a guy beat three Mach Zs on a new ZR 900.Kinda hard to beleive.Hope the Mach returns in a ZX for you.

 

[Machzzzz1]

Yeah.  He saw it beat 3 Machz then lose to a T-Cat.  

Whats funny is that a Mach Z will take a T-cat 3 out of 4 times.  

He saw nothing.

The person were talking about is thunderstruck who claims to live in penetang ontario.  Well i have been in penetang the last few weekends and i think i saw him at a shell gas station.  Well I dont know where he saw any 900 cats because i didnt see any.  Maybe its because i dont have mirrors.  

Thunderstruck do you fill up at the shell gas station in penetang.  The one close to dock lunch.  I saw 3 times a guy on a T-cat black with orange decals (I think.)   I did see some other T-cats but thats the only one i remember.

Also how can you say that a 900 twin will beat a Mach.  The 900 twin makes less Hp Weighs almost the same and is a Twin.  Also its single pipe.  And its not even a 900 its a 860 or somthing.

Feb.18th the dealers are suppossed to knowthe rest of the lineup, won't update the site till end of month

I thought the 900 twin was supposed to weigh something like 75 pounds less than a Mach.

 

[Machzzzz1]

I dont think its that much.  But if you think about that even 75 isnt that much.  A heavier driver and a full tank of gas easily makes up for that.  As does the few extra hp the mach has.

 

[Sharkey]

According to manufacturers dry weights there is 52 lb. difference, it would take 7 horse to make up that difference. Cat actually is 6lb.s heavier than the 507 they claim for 8 and 900 twins. Did anybody notice the early 140 hp hype from Cat on F-7, but now today it was already detuned to 138 by Cat. Subtract another 5-6hp and that is where it will end up for the average Joe-- 132-133.  Time will tell of course. There headlight dimmer on brake, only will make you lose your entire grip on handlebar for a split second, just enough to get you in a world of trouble.

Good one.

Well I guess the 9 or 10 t-cats that I raced with are all broken.

 

[Machzzzz1]

I agree.  I constently beat t-cats.  There easy in a drag and I find the Mach is 2 to 3 mph faster.  At least thats what ive heard.  I have never had a top end race with a cat but I driven both and the Mach will leave you with more pain in your arms.  

XCR polaris is the worst enemy of a stock machz.  There about even all the way.  

And you better be well tuned to beat a SRX in a drag but if you are then no problem.

But the T cat is definetly slower in a drag race but there really dangerous up high.  Maybe because of the absence of power valves.

 

[thundercatzr]

I quite regularly lose to machs over a distance.  Off the line,  over a distance, I have yet to see a Mach behind me.
