1000ccs are just too much power.
Who is "we"? You can buy a GSXR750 tomorrow if you want... What's unfortunate, is that there isn't a class for it. I still don't understand why the GSXR isn't eligible to race in Daytona sportbike...

Seriously- every other country that makes motorcycles has a variety of engine configs. Damn near every American bike has a clunky V-Twin. Harley, Victory, Buell, Fischer, Roehr, Confederate, all the chopper fools, etc. We're lucky if there's a few thumpers anywhere...
well, if you go to choppers theres a company or two dedicated to building radial based bikes (which i think is cool as hell, like to see em do a gnome radial but who the hell makes those anymore?) other than that we're a barren wasteland of uncompetitiveness

Nice! I still wish for a GSXR 750 vs a Buell 1125R straight up showdown! Stock for stock.

Track? Drag race? Top speed?

Hmmm....let's try them all. I'm really curious. You have to admit that Eslick was having a hard time with 600s last year on a highly modded bike. I'm curious how he would do against Cardenas on a GSXR750.

I did this recently. The Buell loses. Even went heads up with my ZX636 and a good rider, We swapped and same result.

The 1125R is a great bike, lotsa fun, but isnt effecient at speed. Takes way more work to get the same speed. Fun yeah, maybe more, but still no win.

Anyone here think going back to 1000cc will help Spies? I do. He's mentioned how much different the 800 is from his Superbike. The 1000 has to be closer to what he's used to. I think he'll still be competetive on the 800.
