Don't know why all you AMG guys are moping off this video? Did any of you care to notice the SL65 trap?? 116.xx that's ridiculous SL dude was playing w/radio or little massage lady stitched into his seat lol.. !! yes I love the Z06 but his time should've been much lower to.

There both quite equal in stock form, in capable hands. If money wasn't a limitting factor I'd own a SL65 in a heart beat

There is no way to tell that was an SL65, the only thing you could see was that it was a SL, but 12.4 points to a totally different engine...

That shut me up...LOL

Ok ok, well the SL65 RennTech still has a chance of running with a Z06 lol...but it looks like stock vs stock, drivers being equal, the Z06 would take it.

Still, that 12.4 @ 116 was weak for an SL65.

Hey Trez, how's this bike gonna hang with a Hayabusa? or the Kawasaki ZX-14?

122 hp and 419 lbs. 0-60 in 2.8 are not bad for a BMW bike.

Right before they launch, you can hear the Twins revving, no doubt, 65 obviously had something go wrong? or just got a bad launch and took it EZ down the 1/4 knowing his time would be way off.

LOL, Manufacture rate 169 HP not 122 I don't know where you got that from. I have another 18 added. Haven't dyno'd the bike though so I can't be sure.

Nevermind, I was looking at the R1200S not the K1200S, which has 167 hp.
Nice numbers.

Mine is actually the K1200R, which is basically the same as the K1200S but with a much meaner naked look. It did quite well against all the Jap bikes. First BMW to be able to compete. Which is why i had to have it.

We stopped to talk and he said he had a tune and a K&N in take. His car made 480whp on the same dyno I made 550whp. What is thw weight on the z06? That car was fast!!
I raced an SL65 in my 460 rwhp Z06 (stock) and from a 50-120 roll I was 2 cars ahead and still pulling. I then got some grief from a forum member who went on to tell me that a few mags ran the Z06 to a 12.x@<120 and that taking the average of different SL times, the SL is faster..lol.

Anyways, the SL65 is a beast, and if i comes across a nieve Z06 driver, it will win for sure. It is one of the fastest stock cars I have raced along with a FGT..

That BMW would get RAPED by a Busa or 14,let alone my 1k...I wish I lived closer to show you.
BMW K1200R:
141.1 rwhp
83.5ft/lb
10.50@130.76mph
which is on par w a good rider on a current 600,a modern liter bike would leave it for dead...
I've never even seen or heard of a 9 sec BMW

SL65 driver was either sleeping or didn't not know how to drive it. I have seen SL65's run in the 11's all day and all night bone stock.

Motorcyclist Magazine.As well as other mag's,all the performance #'s are in the back for all the current bikes.They're reasonably accurate,but the 1/4mi tines are rider dependant of course
I hope I didnt come off sounding like a di*kh*ead,I just re-read my post&I was half asleep when I posted

That was a slow Z06 as well. 11.8@122 is pretty slow. Mine ran 11.4@126 right out of the box. Must have been a hot day as both were slow. I really want to run a Renntech SL or CL65 if anyone is in the Dallas area and wants to have some friendly races.
