For those of you who can't get too much power, MotorcycleUSA compares the Suzuki GSX-R1000, Yamaha YZF-R1, Honda CBR1000RR, and the Kawasaki ZX-10R.
...we'd like to remind you that the least powerful in this musclebound quartet produces 148 horsepower at the rear wheel. This kind of power undoubtedly makes them fun to ride, but it's serious fun. As in: "Don't lose focus with me, twerp, or you'll be showing your insurance card to hospital staff before you can even remember what my redline is!"
How serious? Consider the new AMA Superstock class for these Literbikes. At Daytona earlier this month, Ben Spies rode his lightly modded GSX-R1000 to a qualifying time quicker than the 2003 Superbike pole, set by Ben Bostrom on a full-works Honda RC51!
