Shred, shred, shred........S1KRR gutless? YOU WERE IN THE WRONG MODE, MAN!!!!
If you would have had the thing in slick mode, you WOULD have possibly scared yourself above 9K rpm, and the bike is very lively below that. As torquey (in ft.- lbs.) as a twin down low? No, but no matter because even with lower torque numbers down low, the acceleration is stronger because of the much lower gearing. Check out the 60-80 and 80-100 roll on times in the published tests. Both UNDER 3 seconds, unlike the R12S or HP2S, as well as most, if not all, the other sport twins. 60 mph on the S1KRR is just over 4K rpm, hardly peaky I would say.
Come on down this winter and ride mine for the day. A touring bike it's not, but.....
