2001 Suzuki TL1000R vs. 2002 Honda CBR 954RR... another biased comparison.

but the problem is people buy'n a spec sheet... like the new GSXR1000 has 180+hp so it must be the fastest (i have no idea what the new bikes make just making a point)

I was talk'n to a couple guys the other day... talk'n about buy'n a new bike. I mentioned I want either a GSXR or CBR600RR 06-09... and they were both quote'n what the 09's were puting out in hp... oh the GSXR is putting out 120hp this year... no way you'll want the 06 with only 110 or so... yeah cause that extra 20hp is worth the extra 4g's it'll cost me.

Exactly. Meanwhile those are the same guys who have 4" chicken strips and LED engine lights on 2 year old bikes with 1200 miles on them... People who actually RIDE their bikes are generally less concerned with the spec sheet.

Heh, these are also the same guys who tell you they've had their 600 up to 185mph or they've had their 1k up to 215mph... Within the past week I've ran into TWO of those retards.

Yea I see those guys too...I try to ignore them. It's funny tho' when you run into them at a bike night and they try to drag you into their bullshit...

"Hey dude,you have a 1000,I was just telling these girls that mine will do over 200mph,right?"

"Nope,Mine will "only" do about 175mph,Maybe yours is "special""

A guy at work asked me the other night, "how fast you had that thing?"... I told him an indicated 165... He was like, "shit, you could get that thing over 200 easy..., I had my '07 GSXR 6 up to 185..." Then I started telling him about the 186 gentlemens agreement in the industry and the history behind it... and that he was totally full of shit...

Fuck me... where were we???? Drewpy and I ran into some douche who said the same thing about his GSXR600 one time... It was at a gas station somewhere, but I don't remember exactly where or what trip we were on... I can remember the douchebag's face like a champ all day long though...
