Blade v ZX9R
Looking at changing my Stuart Taylor zx9r locosaki for a fully prepped RGB Stuart taylor locoblade. So i'm expecting the car to be virtually the
same, but whats the difference between engines, is the blade going to feel quicker, the same or slower???

Honda engineering in a different league to kawasaki imo, it will go twice as far, twice as fast on half the parts. probably cost less doing it and be
worth more at the end(ask any courier).
The fireblade engine rewrote the book in every respect and weighs less too i bet.
Sorry, always raced hondas foe good reason, not one mechanical failiure(bar 2 strokes obviously) in a 5 seasons straight run.
si
striker/blade now complete, thanks to all on this site.

Can't see that you're going to benefit much?...........

Actually, I suspect you'll find it will be a very different and much quicker car to drive round a race track  If the car with the blade engine
has been properly prepared for the 750 MC RGB class it might in fact be quite a revelation...

Its a cheaper way to get on the track, i.e. i don't have to prep my car up with all the safety kit, and my car has is a nice road car, its
lightweight, but has stuff fitted i don't need on track, i.e. big westfield seats, full gauge set. rather than rip mine apart and spend money on
it, i can sell it, get a track prepped car and also have some cash in my pocket. Another big bonus is that the race car is eligible for class C (blade
engine only), which mine isn't due to the engine
