Thats not bad...but I expected both numbers to be higher.



Maybe the RC isn't on my list anymore.


I saw a dyno sheet for a Buell 1125R....141hp and 80 ft lbs of torque. Thats what the fuck I'm talking about.

Damn right I would. I wish the Japs would keep these around. The TL's. The RC's. A V4 jap bike would kill.


Speaking of V4's....anyone seen the new V4 Aprilia?

We've had a V4 Jap bike for awhile. The Honda VFR. Granted it's not the most powerfull, but it is a V4 none the less. Hopefully Honda updates it for 09. The VFR is actually a blast to ride.

Yeah...they should put that engine in a true sportbike package. That would be awesome.

Rumor on the street says Honda will come out with a VFR1000 that leans more toward SS than ST.

That would be awesome. Too bad most American's are idiots when it comes to bikes. That why the really cool bikes end up not being made anymore. Everyone wants the fastest I4 they can find.
