    Just buy a Honda and it will be sweet out of the box - why do you think they get so much stick

    Do you think the ricers know less than you

    Other products regarded as being shite if ya have to improve them once ya pull them out of the box - why should a motorbike be regarded any different ?

    My Hornet wasn't that "sweet", more like OK. A custom map made it much smoother and gave it more top end as well.

    I already said all bikes aren't the same, neither are all riders. If you can have your bike set up as good as it could be, why wouldn't you? (Leave out any impecunious student stories...)

    Now I've worked you out. I had suspicions you were a troll from the get go. Now you've confirmed it.

    Or I may be wrong and you are a complete idiot.

    That old chestnut when the going gets tuff - you are a troll .......

    You einsteins missing the point - your perceived lag could very well be on purpose to make it easier on your crank etc

    Again - do you think they spend millions in development but can't be shagged to do the last bit .....

    Beg to differ on this one

    It's called passing emission and noise limits. Google it, you'll find a huge amount of info out there about it. Or maybe, just maybe, everyone else is wrong and you are right.

    Nah I'm just kidding ya. You're wrong.

    Perhaps you can explain how a stock standard K4 GSXR1000 can be put on a dyno, gain an easy 8-10HP and fill in a big hole in the midrange if the factory is doing such a good job?

    I guess that big midrange hole is just to make it easier on the crank though

    It's not that they can't be shagged it's that they're making them by the thousands and as has been pointed out they have emissions and other shit they have to pass

    You're the only one to mention LA and anti-smog. Heard of Euro Emission laws? We in NZ now have to adhere to Euro 4 for importing vehicles. Do you think that vehicles sold in NZ/Aus/Japan/Europe etc don't have to pass emission tests before being allowed to be sold to the public? What about noise testing? You've ignored that one.

    Do some research on what the testing involves, find out at what rpm they do the testing. Then look at dyno charts for factory bikes. See if you can spot something that ties the two together.

    I'll give you a hint. Typically where the testing is done (no not location, rev range) there will be either a slight dip or flattening of the power and torque curve. This is because manufacturers are smart (cheeky little ricers aren't they) and make the engines cleaner and quieter at this point, ie compromising their performance in that one area but not everywhere else. Then a stupid whitey like me can pay another stupid whitey (we're not as clever as those ricers - by the way very racist comment, my daughter is half Japanese - have some respect) to get rid of those holes or dips.

    Hey I wonder if I can pay one to get rid of another dip.
