Hahahha, "if it doesn't lift the front wheel in fourth gear off the throttle, it isn't a superbike."
Nothing like speaking in pure hyperbole. He should write my Press Releases.

The 1100cc three-cylinder TSS1100GP should have no such problems; when completed, it should make 250 hp at the rear wheel and 160 ft.-lbs. of torque. A powervalve will keep things rideable, with a characteristic hit of power as the revs climb. The chassis will be a lightly-modded Kawasaki ZX-10R ("it's beefy enough") and Rothwell expects the wet weight to be under 340 pounds:
I would love to have a beer with those guys. They sound out of their goddamn minds.

If you run into a wall with a helmet on, you still ran into a wall.
The next project? The 112-hp TSS500 engine installed in a Yamaha WR450 supermoto chassis. "There's nothing 'super' about a four-stroke supermoto," sniffed Rothwell.
I want one.
I agree with those animals. The manufacturers have the technology, but they don't bother letting the average Joe get a taste. Look at snowmobiles for instance. Suzuki (Arctic Cat) and Yamaha each probably have more 2-stroke technology than Polaris / Fuji and Bombardier combined. They don't tap it though. Imagine a 500cc sled making 200hp out of the box. Whomever put said motor into their sled would stomp the piss out of everyone.. provided the rider could control said sled. Cake though. I've ridden sleds with stupid amounts of power. Piped, clutched 800cc triples with 192 studs
Anyhow, too bad we can't have 2 strokes here. Well, not like in Europe or OZ. Damn them.
I have to say, 2 stroke triples make one of the best sounds I've ever heard. Even better than the 4 cylinders, I think.
wow.
also found a a neat OLD comparo with freddie spencers gp500 bike.

250HP 160 lbs of torque on a motorcycle? How the hell would you control that power?!?!?!
With your right hand.
The same way the GP guys controlled it before traction control...your right hand
I want one.
Just some dumbass
