i would have liked to seen them track test them at another track too, where top speed one have been a factor, would have really let the zuki and kawi shine

they said they were confident the suzuki(if not limited to 186) would easily pull redline in top gear..mid to high 190's ..stock!

the honda had the best 1/4 time, but from reading it is also lower geared than the other 1000's...so

either way, they all seem to be pretty awesome machines...well cept the duc, i dont count it, cause its $5,000 more and has 200 more cc's

but i'm kinda let down by the new R1, little heavy and underpowered compared to the others, it really didnt do well at all, just read about it in the new SportRider and they seemed quite surprised by the higher weight and LOWER HP than last years model
