I like what you guys are saying, i just have to make one minor clarification... the "new R1" absolutely does not have 180 hp. No stock motorcycle does. Mine's an '02 and has about 135-140. Plus, it's very different once you have multiple cylinders. I'm still waiting for a stock quad with 50hp, and is 150 lbs.... we're getting closer! my neighbor has the new yfz450 and i've ridden it, my banshee feels faster in straight line, but that's about it.
peace

 

ummm...doesnt the Hayabusa have 175hp? that was a couple years ago..like 99 or somthing..might be more now..and thats stock..damn an exhaust could get it over 180! not sure though..

After i wrote that last post, i went to the yamaha website and saw them list 180 hp. First of all, i agree that it has to be at the crank, secondly, i want one now!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] so, we'll see... i still think those numbers are exaggerated. but we'll see.
take care bro

 

Back to the original subject of this thread, I rode Selector's YFZ the other day at the dunes (pipe, 13-1 piston, cam mod, lightened, etc.). Holy Throttle Wheelies, Batman!

I'll go with revolutionary.
