Shhhh.... just let the old guy keep his dreams, Nick. Actually, the old CBR1000 is a fast bike for it's time and I'm sure that NW is a very fast rider on that bike but to say that a 90s bike is "just as fast and nimble" as a 2010 BMW S1000RR is delusional at best. I mean forget all the other suspension, brake, etc improvements...there's about 100 lbs and 60+ hp between the two bikes.
