I like the APs too. My project bike getting the stock R1200S calipers (cheap) with the 320mm rotors. Good enough.

Can't argue Chris' point on the Lithium batteries. I have one for each bike but if you do get them, get the charger with it and top it off with the charger first and then about once a month after that to keep all the cells up. I ran my first one without and now it won't top off with a charger. It has to do with how our bikes charge batteries, which was not designed for these batteries. So they'll work fine but...

As to Chris' point on "torque", without GS tubes I still beat everyone out of a corner, I just can't keep them at bay on the straights (HP's domain). I'd go for the HP for the track, torque on the street but Chris is right, you don't NEED it. I would like to trade some of my torque for some more HP though when on the track.

Good luck.
