Wow, I didn't realise the GSX-R was that light!



Nah, that sounds like a fantastic weight, I didn't know they were quite that light.

Give is a curb side weight ready to ride.
Agree about the power, what matters most is the wheel power, however it is possible to measure power at the crank - use an engine dyno!

Are you sure there is such a thing? I mean how are you going to take the drive off of the crank without any loss from the gear box? Bah. Not to worry.

Poppycock.

The Honda was a *spit* Honda. Therefore it's ineligible for any "what's best" comparison.

Well, it exists for cars, so I assumed (maybe wrongly! ) it existed for bikes too - same principle and possibly even same machine. I don't know any details though, whether it uses a gearbox, etc.

I think itll be easier with a car though as the gear box generally is seperate from the Engine... well at least with RWD cars. Im not so sure about the FWD ones :S
