The factory supported Ten Kate bike weighs the minimum weight per SBK regulations (167kg) and is rumored to deliver more than 220hp at the wheel(!). These are guided missiles and BMW would have make such a missile to compete.
Just a hint, don't let stock, emissions and sound restrictions on a bike determine just what you will see in race trim as your example of the CBR1000 clearly points out. We all just might be in for a plesant suprise.
