It's 180 hp! Is there *really* anything wrong with stepping out of the top-end power arms race for a while to make a bike that has more mid range, perhaps handles better, and makes a cooler noise?

I'm all for cool noises, BTW.

Congrats!!! Nice one - it looks wicked

I'm interested to see what you think of it and what you think of the Chip Control Throttle.
I've written my comparison of the R1 and CBR in the July issue of Motorcycle Trader which is on sale this Saturday if you're interested.

You lucky little devil.

Yep been around for a while. Had it on my 07 R1. So hoping on the 09 was straight forward.
The first time i used it i found myself chugging away. lol The response was quite different to what i was used to. Like instant. Found i got used to it after a while. You just need a bit of time.
