I hope you dont think I am a toolbox then since I am giving it some serious consideration.

No you'd be a toolbox if you rode to Jersey.

My final word on it that Roadracing World nabbed an early delivered BMW 1K and spirited of to the dynojet dyno and it pumped 179 hp next to an 09 Gsxr 1K at 162. If I had the coin and wanted a liter race rep I would definitely shop the BMW!

impressive for out of the box, im willing to bet theres not a lot left in it though.

But Dave, who needs more?!?! I mean any literbike 04 and up will shred a rear tire in alittle over 1000 miles...Anyway with BMWs history of build quality I dont think you could go wrong. OK that is my final word...

i cant think of many but in a bike like this the ego/benchracing chops are an important selling point. And you gotta figure if they did too good a job designing things and theres either not much to gain or even worse losses it'll hurt the bike with certain folks. I know id hate it if i couldnt fiddle. Anyway its all conjecture. Got a copy of the graph? I have my suspicions about power delivery but id like to check it out on paper. Also, any word on correction factors or dyno type?

See Roadracing World current issue (August I think) for graph and explanation. They are still awaiting a test unit and clandestinely snuck a new dealer model to the dyno. I am sure it will bear out when they do a formal test but...Dyno's don't tell the tale for a bike anyways. Still it is optimistic and interesting to think 179 hp at the wheel, what do you have to tinker with on a GSXR1000 to pick up 16 hp? Would any of us use it differently? Can it get down Hwy 23 any faster? It just looks promising...
