In the usa they recon the zpf's are better race bike over the others but i guess it comes down to prefrence if you got the money for a zpf or a dm then you should just try them out and get the one that suits you but zpfs are unique they don't follow what others do they do there own thing and are very succesful at it. Bottom line is anyone with a euro should have a ear to ear smile :lol:

im not making any claims about Zpf against other brands.i own a Zpf and this thread was about zpf's.
My polini is a 50cc thingo that viper built for lil ole me.Im exteremly happy with that.it is in a dream bike.
But now the Zpf's are here it will be my personal bike of choice.
Yippppeeeeee

live in sydney mate...out at the butterfly farm every chance i get.aint been for bout last 3 months as i sold my china gear and was waiting for zpf.
a couple of weeks ago i ventured down to melb.and raced a dream bike with a very potent 50cc polini motor that Viperformance put together for me.I loved it and then owned it.
After racing the dream bike ive since received my Zpf.The dream bike seemed awesome,but after playing with the zpf im now totally in awe.I've only been running it in so it aint been totally unleashed yet,but i took the dreambike for a spin yesterday and it just isnt in the same league.I cant wait to feel the full capabilities of the zpf it just seemed to handle so well and then the motor

and then the brakes

...if you know how to post pics ill email them to you so you can post them,it looks great too!!!!!!

GRC,DM and ZPF are the best in the world :twisted: All 3 bikes have great craftsmanship and quality...There made to race, and are built to Italian Standards.. BMS are french, and from what I see the BMS does not compare to the GRC, DM and ZPF..All 3 bikes have there little pro's and con's that the other bike doesn't have..I.E on the ZPF it has quick adjusting brakes at the lever so you can adjust why you are in the middle of a race 8) All the brake systems on the bikes are virtually identical and all of them BRAKE good 8)

I'm not a big fan of Polini, I've seen a few go now, Carena's, GP3's etc..and they don't go anywhere near aswell as the DM's, GRC's and ZPF's at the track. The GP3 seems to be always breaking down (maybe because it's a really new design and very different compared to the other bikes).

As for HP figures..don't believe some of the ones you hear...The BZM, ZPF motor etc all put out similar hp, however if you put fat cranks, high comp head dome etc in, it will boost the figures 8)

Overall, it comes down to which bike you feel more comfortable on, and all will win you a race if you have the talent 8)
