At a drag strip I'd prefer the FZ 8..... On the curvy country roads I ride where torque is better than raw hp, the CB is a more satisfying ride.
Sold an FZ 1 which made 124 hp, but was rarely able to use all of it, to buy the CB.
In the rev range I ride ( below 6000 rpms) the CB may make more HP and torque than the FZ did and probably more than the FZ 8 does.
Heres an interesting speed question:
Would you rather shift at redline
Where the bike makes peak horsepower
Or where the bike makes peak torque?
