90-100hp and 70-80 ft/lbs in a 365 lb bike. Just right.
Hey, that sounds like a tuned and lightened 1100 DS. Cheesy

My Hayabusa is my sport touring bike. It's got Yosh slip ons and a PC5. My old Busa set up in a similar fashion put 160+hp at the rear wheel. Of course it's also as heavy as a battle ship. I don't care about top speed or max horsepower. I just want monster (pun intended!) mid range. When I'm on a weekend ride on twisty roads in Arkansas and there's a RV pulling a boat with 6+ cars behind it going 25mph on my favorite tarmac I want all that hp and torque to squirt around them right now! Happiness is never having to down shift! Grin No, I don't "need" 160+ horsepower but it sure helps make those boat pulling RVs and logging trucks disappear in the mirror! waytogo Which is nice. bacon

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

100+ HP allows me to make annoying cages disappear simply by rotating my right wrist.   Imagine what it would be like if
you could make annoying coworkers disappear by rotating you right wrist.

On the other hand, I feel better about my 62HP and 80HP Ducs and feel better about riding the 58HP Hawk my wife has.  I'm probably fastest on the Hawk.

Why a hundred HP?

Because 99 isn't quite enough.

Why?

Because too much is almost enough.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
