Why is everybody so impressed with the 165kg weight figure? that's the minimum weight required to race in WSBK. Apparantly the street version will weigh 204kg's wet...
Also like Dean says 200+ can mean 201hp or 250hp and because Corser says there's enough power (and the rode the R1 last year so he has a good comparison) it will be in the 220hp+ region for sure (also because it probably will have the shortest stroke of all competitors).
But the most important thing is that they have no set-up data for almost all circuits so the question will be how quick they can find that. For sure they will race in the top 5 at some races but also a lot lower at other ones...consistency will come next year
