I'm definitely aware of the modifications I will have to make to get some additional HP out of my CBs, and that's primarily why I bought my third one, a 2014 standard as a test mule. I do have a number of motorcycles in my stable which would absolutely slaughter the CB in any speed contest, so I don't really care if I get 5 or 50 more HP out of it. I'm doing this for the fun of it and to see what works.
I prolly wouldn't dink around with a 600cc supersport bike. I have two CBR100ORRs, and a couple of R1s if I want to ride over my head. I built a Kawasaki ZX11D about 20 years ago which was pretty heavily modded, cams, cylinder head work, porting, five angle valve grind, big bore kit with special Arias pistons, Keihin FCR carbs and a special air box which retained the dual ram air intake. It took months to get it right, but it was and still is wickedly fast. Two dyno runs without ram air netted 175 rwhp.
I never cared much about dressing up like a Power Ranger to ride it for that matter, but it was a necessity on that bike. Lol...

A ZX-6R makes 112 hp out of the box which is about 40 percent more hp than the ol' CB and it handles better as well. Of course, you will have to invest in one of those leather crotch rocket riding suits and I personally wouldn't want the public to see in one of those outfits... scare the little kids and make the adjust ill I suspect.
