The new motor keeps up with the all powerful and awe inspiring Gsxr 750.. Considering it's a street oriented v-twin, I'd say that's impressive.

Compare it to the geared down 1125cr, and I doubt it'll touch it on the street.

So, what exactly is the problem with a 145hp v-twin that makes 85lb of tq?
