Lee's Cycles in San Diego is getting 208rwhp. with very minor engine mods. Their overbore kit yields 226rwhp.
Every loves mods but i know im not the only one stock out here ... maybe some very minor mods but i sure would like to know how much better it could be as BMW stoped here and made it barley streetable ...
I know hp power is a bit addictive but for the street a simple full exhaust filter and PCV-Bazzaz can give you a bike with more than 190+rwp.This is MORE than enough for anyone.Keep in mind SBK machines 7-10 years ago had 180hp-190hp.If you do not do professional dragster racing even stock is more than enough.I am really satisfied with power now I need to keep weigh in low numbers and setup the suspension.
It's not just about the top end power. Its about getting more power earlier. Not many of us even in a street race will use 180 of them ponies. There are a lot of factors in the powerband of the bike. Dyno's don't really take account for the ram air and most of the time its not very cool.
Adding HP doesn't just add it to the top(I'm sure most of you knew that). It gives you more power faster and just so happens to give top end that most of us never reach. Adding parts is for the average joe about adding acceleration and customization. If adding your favorite color gave you a couple ponies I don't think you would be against that! HA. lol

To hell with that...I have a heavily modded Busa and its a constant worry when i am riding that thing...Big bore kits, unless the cooling jackets are on point, it will cook itself if the bike is ridden on a street...KWS's bike is a purpose built bike so they can get away with having it heavily built...Ask any Busa rider with a 1397 or 1441 kit, if they ride worry-free
