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...

No differnent than understanding an all gear dyno run versus just a single gear pull.

I too lost them on the idea that once you allow the bike to be shifted, then its a different story as the bike only uses its upper RPM range. Only 9000 to 13000 matters on the move.

The ZX10 and Gixxer riders will do very well if they carry a pocket tig welder to weld your gear shift in place so you can only use one gear.
