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...

I'm with you. I love my new R1, but I wish they'd left the stroke the same (or lengthened it). Most of these bikes will never see a track, and on the street torque is more useful than having a sky-high redline and beating the other bikes' peak horsepower figures by 0.5%.

Of course, I can't argue with its proven track prowess.
But then what about the people who complain that the R1 cant win on the track..

everybody bytched about the Gix owning the R1 on the track.. so now that the bike is track worthy.. people bytch its not long street worthy..

you cant have both.. what you can do is buy right bike for you!
