I sell aftermarket race ecu’s and data logging stuff. I once logged a Hayabusa on a two hour ride around the Countryside in the UK...it never used more than 80bhp including 120-140mph blasts...
This is what makes me chuckle whenever I hear armchair motorcyclists whine about any bike that doesn't produce better than 120 hp. In the back of my mind I know that 95% of those commenters wouldn't know what to do with 120 hp on the street.
Back when I used to run bikes on the drag strip, hp was important. On the street, not so much.
