all very cool in my opinion......

well i dont know about low 8s but ya...there is more.... i mean we haven't even seen a ported head or revised cams yet..... 1700ccs is a lot to play with.....

oh and ya...i know its all fashionable to look at bolt on pipes as "seriosu power mods" these days but....to me anyway....unless you actually tear into the motor, id have to say slightly modded.... im old school like that... pipes and intakes, laptop work.... its all tuning not designing a...

Dude that was a quote from the title of the link.... next time i will put in quotes for you ok?

EvilD im sorry but you are just flat out wrong about Canadian health care. I grew up watching America bring medicines and medical help to all the ravaged places on earth from one end to the other.... helping people, caring, effectively saying "we are America, we are strong and just, and we will...

LOL.... oh stop it...you love the power just admit it.... haha i agree on usable power and launch characteristics (street or strip)... the quickest bike usually is the easiest to launch. But it all gonna change... 1500cc old vmaxes get 165-200hp at the wheel....stands to reason the 1700cc new...

displacement and cam timing were reduced... as well variable cam timing drive system was removed...

i actually heard it wasn't so much a different motor but basically different heads with variable valve timing that got in the way of the frame..which is all over the top of the motor now..... story is we still may see it down the road as a special addition or race kit

because these sport bikes are RPM based.... You see HP is a calculation based on torque at a given RPM.... if you make 200hp at 20,000 rpm, you are actually delivering very little torque..... The "scary prototype" max was delivering massive amounts of torque low down in the usable rpm range...

ok...9.51 is mid 9s not low nines (though apparently UFO is preparing a max for what a few believe wil be 8s....but ok.... it wasnt long ago that many were saying it was only going to be a 10 second bike) F1 banned traction control and motogp uses traction control so it must be an advantage...

and use the ratchet wrench type...it will be the fastest way...

cant wait to hear how this is coming along!!!

published yamaha hp numbers are all at the motor not rear tire....
