The advertised numbers have proven to be optimistic. Magazine testers put them in the 160's at the wheel. You mean you bought a Hayabusa without inquiring as to its rated horsepower? IIRC, they're about 160 also.

And FWIW, one bike does not smoke another. A rider does. And most riders can't launch a ZX-anything worth crap.
