Making these bikes fast

[DGShannon_imp]

It's fast enough for me. If I remember right my original CB750 had 56 hp...my dream Z900 was in the 80's....so it does just what I want it to do....doesn't pull your arms off, but fast enough.

I test rode a CB1000R before I bought it....it definitely didn't fit my "senior" body type and I couldn't imagine when and where I would need that much power. I'm past riding wheelies and doing burn outs ;-)

Having been there and done that, I know that on the street, nobody but a show off with a little willy complex needs it. Chasing horsepower is a fools errand. As laughable as watching folks drive their Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc. around in Houston traffic. Total waste of unnecessary performance.

Now, if you are into track days, that is a different story...
