True that.

What I was actually meaning though, is getting the thing insured in the first place, and the monthly premiums may be a leeetle bit high....

I can't imagine any sane insurance company will be too thrilled about insuring a 1000cc tubocharged 450hp superbike

Insurance is for sissies....you talk about it like its compulsory!

Its all well and ok having lots of HP but after riding a few late model 1000cc's sportsbike I would rather spend money on suspension first ,then maybe brakes , then worry about engine last , a good bike is a sum of good parts not just one good part

HTFU, You can never have too much power. worry about stopping when you get to that bridge.

who say it was too much power , I just rather do other stuff first and have a bike thats a good package than a bike thats just good in one area.

Looks like you couldn't keep the front wheel down even when you wanted too.

Interesting looking back on this thread.

I rode a stock K7 the other day, and it was a ballistic missile on 2 wheels. 180hp was quite enough for that bike.

So, what on earth are you supposed to do with another 270hp on top of that? How could you even control something with that much power? A slight over revving in first gear or anything, and you'd most likely do a backflip

I dunno how that ghostrider dude does it on the turbo 'Busa. Kudos to him for owning something as ridiculous as that and still being among the living.

As with anything after awhile you get use to the power & think this feels slow so the mods continue till you get that rush of power that scares you again & the whole cycle begins again , It never ends
