ok, they built a "screamer" motor... what's the big deal?

Arn't they claiming 190hp 

Come on Boys and Girls unless you go to the track.... and thats probabaly a huge overkill why do you need that much Power

45HP is overkill for the street, so what?


My buddy's `04 R1 Dyno's around 180 w/ just a PC and exhaust.
I bet the `09 will put down 200+ w/ PC, exhaust, and intake.

So what... Motorcycle accidents are at a all time High.

But your right. Its up to the individual to not be a idiot. That being said I would like to give it a whirl

What do you think the HP will be in 10 Years for high end sports bikes?

Considering a stock 04 R1 puts out about 145 stock and ~150+ with a pipe and PCIII, that must be some exhaust system he's got.  Maybe his exhaust is spinning a turbo.

The 04 was the last good looking R1 though.  The 09 is at least better looking than the 07-08 frog.

I love it, however using torque as the selling point seems to be less convincing since Rossi kept getting pulled by Stoner on the straight.

I dig the Firebolt headlights.

i'm more interested in seeing that engine design in the R6.
