but then you get the real revvy 1000cc+ bikes which will just waste the flat old buell round a track

They are very american don't handle for shit apparantley and not overly fast and superbike 1000cc will kill it, it's more about the brand than the capabaility of the bike to the people who will buy it though like a harley.

That's not that impressive, my mates V-twin tl1000 suz is 140 odd and that's not even an out and out sports bike.

Buell look nice but go well shit really and cost a little too much, if ya want a fsat bike stick with the Japs R6,R1/GSXR 1000/750. or if ur gona be different get a RSV aprillia Chip it Full Exhausts system and filter. Should go ok

Or a VTR SP2 Honda V-Twin prob the best just Behind the Ducati and RSV it terms of looks but prob faster and better to run

the new GSXR comes out of the create with 170 bhp iirc.
My brother had a problem with his R1 as it was only producing 155bhp compared to the winner of his race on the new suzuki dyno'd at 170bhp.
