What is the rear wheel HP of the new GSXR1000. About 155? or is it less? The K12S is showing 151 RWHP on some charts so even though the zuki has more RWHP its not much more and proves to be less effective than BMW if you compare crank HP to RWHP.

Besides............it a "dynosaur".........it still has outdated forks. A bike for smooth road only people who will never be able to use their HP in real world road conditions because their short wheelbase combined with shallow suspension travel and forks of any kind. BMWs will continue to rule the back roads of America and the distance between them and UJMs on smooth (track like) pavement has been narrowed as well.
