You'd make a good drug dealer ! Pete the horsepower pusher !:jaw drop: :justkidding:

I'm sure I'd LOVE it :)

]"Then just buy the RR! I really do not understand you, form what you are writing I seriously doubt you rode the bike." ALREADY STATED I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY LEFT ARM AND CANT TAKE THE RIDING POSITION. " I seriously doubt you rode the bike. The S1000RR is a total beast, " I HAVE NOT...

I totally agree the FZ1 is weak in the low, mid and Hell no a naked would not be fun at speed. :D Doubt I'd enjoy a bike without a windscreen at speed, hell my bike sucked at speed until I went to the magical racing screen.

Dustin, my whole point is I want a sportbike that just happens to be comfortable or a standard that just happens to have sportbike power :) I'm 43 with a circulation problem with my left arm. Just can't take the sportbike riding position anymore. I agree with the fairing statement. I'll...

Yes, I just said poop your pants horsepower ! :woot:

I feel like I'm the only guy on this forum that wants to be scared for my life when I whack the throttle open on a bike :woot::woot::woot::D:D:D Fear is such a wonderful feeling when accelerating :stunta]: Sure useable torque is nice , ........... but so is mind bending poop your...

Well said indeed ! but a stock s1000rr makes 65 ftlbs @ 4500 rpm and peaks at 79-80 ftlbs ............. did the standard really need 7ftlb under 7500 rpm at the cost of losing 33hp and a 2000rpm lower redline ???

Stock vs Ivanized

Over a stock FZ1 ? If so yes check the dyno charts at " Ivans performance " The ECU alone won't do it, need exhaust, airfliter, PCV and modded airbox.

That 160hp is BWM'S rating at the crank......... Just for comparisons sake Yamaha rates the FZ1 at 150hp at the crank and they run 126-130hp on the dyno ( stock ) I'd imagine at the rear wheel on the dyno where going to see about 140hp or even less.

Hear what your saying, really . Just think the trade off is worth it on the street. Just to many knuckleheads on the roads ready to make you a hood ornament.......... not to mention the frigging dear in my neck of the woods. I haven't spent any real time riding a bike with modern ABS, is...

A little loose is always better than to tight.

Some people also think they are Valentino Rossi in the skills department :p I've been riding 29 years and my opinion 99.9% of street riders will benefit from ABS and traction control when things get ugly. If the Ninja had ABS available when I bought my FZ1 I would have purchased the Ninja...

Indeed ! I'm concerned they took too much edge off that engine. The brilliance of the Tuono is that they kept the neutering to a minimum.

" Up to 7,500 rpm, the S 1000 R’s engine offers up to 10 Newton meters (approx. 7 lb-ft) more torque than the S 1000 RR, which is tailored more to maximized power and track performance." I just hope they didn't kill too much high rpm power just to add " UP TO 7 FT LBS OF TORQUE " Torques...

Maybe an FJ 1100

I'd be happy with a GSXR,R1,ZX10 or CBR based bike that's thousands less expensive. Just like the current Japanese liter bikes are thousands less than the European bikes.

First thing I would do is just loosen all 3 bolts ( just a little ) then slowly torque them to spec. Just a fraction at a time for each bolt moving between the 3 ,so your slowly increasing the torque evenly. You could also try a small dab of RTV copper sealant between the washer and bolt...
