okay, i waited 6 months to buy this bike , i let everybody buy one mod them up . i also let all the tuning gurus work their magic and show us beyond a shadow of a doubt what these things make power wise bone stock. so i buy one after i see that they are as strong as they say they are . i put 400 miles on it only going to 4-5,000 rpms i ran it up to 7-9,000 rpms a few times closer to the 400 mile mark . and i change my oil today and i put a slip on dual exhaust . i take it out today with 430 miles and fresh oil and im riding with my buddie one has a 2011 zx10r with a m4 slip on air filter and a guhls re-flashed ecu. we race 3 times and he walks me from 4th gear on by about 3 bikes, we both weigh within 5 lbs. of each other and we both can race a bike. i know the 10s with the guhls reflash are strong but jeez we raced 3 times from a second gear roll with almost the same outcome everytime. im just blown away that i cant take a 1441cc bike stock or not and get beat by a 998cc bike.
