It would absolutely stomp a CB1100 at any RPM. There is certainly more to a motorcycle than a dyno chart, but I am pretty dang hot and bothered by this new Kawi.
True indeed.
This looks like a pretty nice bike. It sounds great, 70 pounds lighter than a CB, about 20% more hp and the same torque. All good.
Technically though, other than a retro paint job, this bike mechanically will compete with the new CB1000R Neo Sport. Wonder how it will stack up against that? Ie if the CB1000R weighs the same, but has 40 more horsepower, has modes, amd costs the same, will people buy it or because of the paint, buy the Kaw?
