It's awseome technology. But is the "average" street rider even going to notice or be able to take advantage of it? I would say 85% of the riders out there on any liter bike don't use the bike to near it's full potential.

Supposedly there has always been an issue with the R1's midrange. Maybe it'll be a noticeable difference.

Possible. With the regular R1 though, the midrange issue is easy enough to work around. Add a good air filter, power commander, and velocity stacks, and that helps quite abit with the midrange.

couldnt do stacks after lik 05 cause of the ycc-i system. Id also like to point out that this isint the first big bang bike to market as the rsv mille has had that distinction for a while. Anyway it'll be interesting to see what zuk does now. If its a gsv-r 1000 i might consider switching to the darkside lol

Also, with all the big bang talk going on i suppose its worth mentioning that kawi is leaning towards a return to even firing orders testing their zx-rr with a ''screamer'' engine sacrificing some tractability for all out power could be advantage with the 800cc restriction
