World Superbike SBK: First Contact with new ZX-10R for Kawasaki Corse

Today Kawasaki PSG-1 Corse team' s riders had the first contact with the new version 2008 of ZX-10R.
 
Regis Laconi who had already tested the bike in Japan confirmed the difference of the new bike from  last season model while Makoto Tamada  seated for the first time on it and together with the team he started to work to adapt the faster as possible the frame geometry to his ride style making just few laps and returning to the box telling to the team all the variation and then back on the track to reach his goal.
 
Speaking about the engineering, PSG-1 Corse's technicians are comparing all the telemetry data got today with the  results they already had from desk tests in order to co figurate the new engines in the best way for this circuit of Jerez.
 
Kawasaki PSG-1 Corse team has already marked a power increase of the engines and is quite satisfied of the evolution.
Tomorrow the team will focus on  the adaptability of the new powers to the frame geometries which will be developed even more and on the tyre's choice. Today both the riders used a soft tyre on the front and a medium-hard on the rear.
