[QUOTE="UselessPickles, post: 920373, member: 3256"] Yup. The simulated performance of the C14 does not show nearly as much of an advantage as the torque/hp charts would make most people believe. The FJR actually has the advantage up to freeway speeds, so one could argue that the FJR is actually faster in the practical world (public roads, not excessively speeding). I'd like to see a full-throttle 1/4 mile race on a twisty road :) It would be amusing to watch bikes flying off the last corner at 130mph (if they even make it that far). Theorizing on which bike would win a "real" race with curves is probably more useless than trying to come to conclusions based on tq/hp charts alone. There's so much more that comes into play when you add corners that you could probably find 2 different sets of corners where the FJR would win on one set, but lose on the other. You have to take into consideration braking ability, whether corner speeds tend to sit in one bike's power band better than the other, whether a corner's radius/length would cause the rider to purposely enter the corner in a higher-than-optimal gear to avoid shifting mid-corner, and way more additional factors that I don't even want to think about.
