New 2017 Kawasaki 4 stroke sx-r!

There is a video on Eli Tomacs Instagram of him riding one around and falling over doing some turns.... if a professional Kawasaki motorcycle rider still falls over, there is still some challenge there.

Why did they cleverly chop up the clip? You can't actually see how fast it accelerates. It goes from starting out to showing him at full speed.

When he falls, it's so stable...

Some weight comparisons:
2017 SXR = 550 lbs.

2016 Super Jet = 306 lbs.
1st gen SX-R = 369 lbs.
WaveBlaster 61X = 320 lbs.
Waveblaster 2 = 385 lbs.
96 Seadoo XP 800 = 412 lbs.
2001 Seadoo XP 951 = 561 lbs.
Seadoo 3D 800 = 571 lbs.
GP800R = 585 lbs.
STX 12F = 737 lbs.

This new SX-R looks very close in size to the Seadoo HX (390 lbs dry). To be fair the SXR is listed with a wet weight, but dang, it's still a solid 120+ pounds heavier than the old SX-R :eek:

But it was such a pig, Visser could never get full rotation on a BF. They always cut it off in the vid at about 3/4 rotation..
