 Think it's true?
I was looking around just thinking about what I would be getting myself into in a year or two if I decided to trade in/sell the Buell. The market has gotten pretty good with the street fighters, standard sport bikes etc. I was checking out the specs and saw that the new Speed triple has 130hp and some decent torque. I have read reviews saying that the bike pulls hard and is very aggressive, maybe too aggressive for noobs andmaybe even some experienced riders. I saw the specs on the new FZ1 and saw the factory claim is 150hp. I know factory claims are at the crank and sometimes a few hp off, but this is alot of hp. I am wondering is Yamaha hasn't once again inflated something a bit too far. (Remembering the R6 17,500 RPM claim) 150hp from a sport standard is pretty intense and would hate for anyone to jump on one of these thinking it was comparable to a real sport bike and then getting let down.
