It's awseome technology. But is the "average" street rider even going to notice or be able to take advantage of it? I would say 85% of the riders out there on any liter bike don't use the bike to near it's full potential.

Supposedly there has always been an issue with the R1's midrange. Maybe it'll be a noticeable difference.
