I picked up the magazine this afternoon. They have modified the two bikes so much that any meaningful comparison is moot. The mag is on my fecal roster since they started butchering perfectly good collectable classic bikes into "cafe" bikes. Whatever happened to the practice of turning junkers into nice running cafe bikes? heavy sigh
+1 Top end performance is all about having the excess horsepower to overcome aerodynamic drag. Turning the rear wheel at impressive speeds is more a matter of gearing than power.
