I think the most powerful, hp-wise, bike I've ever owned was a 2007 Yamaha FJR1300. I don't remember the exact horsepower number but I believe it was in the 140's. I do remember making myself stutter a couple of times on that monster. Once jumping on the interstate at full throttle, zooming up the onramp and instantly hitting about 90 mph... when I realized the car just ahead of me, also entering the highway, was doing maybe 60 mph - thank heavens for those big ABS brakes.
The second time was later that day, in Eureka Springs, Arkansas when coming out of a mountain curve onto a long straight stretch I popped the throttle open after shifting into 3rd... and realized the front wheel was airborne... wooooheee, now that also made me stutter. lol
Now... I just wanna Cruise.
