Hi

In new Performance Bike Magazine is the comparison of the new 1000 class supersport bikes...In dyno test R1 has most hp from the rear wheel

Honda 146.6hp
Kawasaki 147.7hp
Suzuki 144.4hp
YAMAHA 147.9hp

BUT THE MOST INTERESTING IS THE THRUST MEASURED FROM THE REAR WHEEL...

R1 has clearly most power at 3rd gear...see also other gears..not bad at all !!! Just think wheelies...

it would be interesting to see how the traction or "force" changed if you could realistically simulate the aerodynamic forces imposed on these machines while circulating a race course. i would imagine their different shapes would alter the outcome as the their body work either helped or hindered their rear end traction.
