BTW if anyone was really going to get into club racing they'd get a 600, a 400, or a twin. Liter bikes are only useful on the street IMO, unless of course you are a pro racing in Superbike.
smileyman comes in number 1 on my mind probably azoom 2nd a number of others. i can also think of at least two threads where guys bought and dumped them in a weeks span cause of a percieved lack of power

I was talking 10/10ths, meaning racing, not just riding 9/10th's at track days. Now, if they race, fine, but do they race liter bikes? For how long?

Or they're just stupid.

Pony up the money and take it to someone who actually knows how to dyno, and get rid of the flat spots if it has any. Pretty simple.

you forgot the pray you got one that yamaha didnt do a shitty job of balancing the internals. im sure it will be an alright bike once its all sorted out and ill admit i like it from certain angles but theres far too many negatives. most expensive, heaviest, lowest output, widest? And thats leaving the reliability issues and looks out of it.
