Yeah but those long straights have the engines revved out at top speed and a good draft...I think that would mask the differences somewhat. I mean at that speed you have aero to consider and the bikes gearing, I don't see as how top speed would be so different.

However the extra 525 cc would show up on acceleration the most I think. As I said before it is curious the bikes are so close considering how different they are, but I still would take the 525 extra cc and 20 lbs if it were my fight.
