I've always thought it was sorta strange...trying to make something like an R11S be a "go-fast" bike. Seems one can spend a LOT of money getting a little bit more performance (point of diminishing returns, anyone?) out of a Boxer.
If you really have the need for speed, seems a bit more useful investment to but a competent track bike and race it, or at least go sign up for track day sessions.
Especially with so many jurisdictions trying to supplement their budgets with traffic enforcement money...a cop around every corner...etc, etc. A reasonably well set up stock 11S is plenty fast (for me!) on public roads. Rode Duc's for 10 years, and when I go ride with some of my old buds, I seem to do just fine.
Not that there aren't some improvements to be made, but heck, losing 35 pounds off this old fat body gets me the "equivalent" of 5 extra bhp...or so I've heard. LOL
No disrespect, just an opinion from and old (and slow) dude....
