My original plan was to have enough WHP to have a motorcycle-like power to weight ratio. It's possible but not economically feasible. I'd be buying a new tranny every 6 months.

hahahaha... either talk to prodrive, get a 2nd job to pay for trannies, or jsut go for the bike torque to weight ratio

I just ride and let the car take a break. You know what's going to come back when winter comes w/ those cold ambient temps boost boost boost

looks nice!! I plan on selling the CBR and getting an R1. Hopefully I will have more time next year to ride. I only got to put 600 miles on my bike this year
