At 4,800 RPM a 2002 VFR800 can get up to 35hp. I think paul's math is backwards. http://www.sportrider.com/bikes/sportbike_dyno_charts/photo_103.html http://www.sportrider.com/bikes/sportbike_dyno_charts/photo_42.html Yes paul, "race" bikes do have more power. -todd I just happened to read paul’s claim above about the GSXR having half the power of a VFR at 4,800 RPMs so I looked it up on the web:

Having sold my Ducati to buy an '06 6th gen for more comfort and dependability it would make sense to me. Yeah the VFR is a little heavier than an RR but you can't ride one on a weekend trip and be comfortable. Track days may be a squeak less zippy for me now but I'm not spending 2/3ds of my time and ALL my extra $ in maintainence and repairs. I love my bike and for me it acheives the best of both worlds. Can't wait 'til he makes the 6th gen available. I think it’s the perfect idea. Having sold my Ducati to buy an ’06 6th gen for more comfort and dependability it would make sense to me.
