playing devil's advocate a bit here but the 12r is a hefty beast at around 550 wet and makes around 160 hp. a 600rr comes in at about 430 and 106 and for fairness sake my 954 is approximately 430 and 150. given a 200lb rider and some quick math we get a weight to power ratio for the 12 of 4.7, the 600 gets a 6.0 and the 954 rocks the clocks at a 4.2. the blade isint exactly the most hardcore bike in the litre class either. its theoretically possible if the guy isint a fuck head
