however, I'm sticking with CBR1000RR. Easy to live with..
Sadly, the American version of the bike, while still impressive, is expected to put out roughly 10 fewer ponies... dang the EPA!

I wonder if the ECU jumper mod on the older Kawasakis would work? It worked on my '05 ZX6RR for 8 more hp

Currently it is but it's always becomes power/weight ratio shoot out. BMW set the bar, Kawasaki matched, now sit back and wait for the rest to start making 198...199hp liter bikes.
