Let's see:
1. The bike will merely be a show peice of dreams
2. The bike will be propped in the corner, or what's left of it after a 110mph tumble on the asphalt or
3. The bike will be propped in the corner with urine stains on the seat.
Bitter? No, just realistic. Notice the number of 160hp GXSR 1300s in the paper with less then 1500 miles. (Not even broken in) "Damn I look cool" guys de-tune the things to make them rideable.
Talked once to a drag racer about his bike. He had about 300hp through a drag racing clutch and tranny. He needed a little more hp because the bike set the front wheel down 50ft from the end of the quarter mile. This is a bike that stood 2.5 feet high and 12 feet long with it's wheely bar.
I own a Moto Guzzi with 91bhp. It's my limit. That's with 50,000+ miles experience on bikes.
My $.02
