Pretty much the same story with the ZX6R. I don't know about the latest R1, but the R1 was using the same engine that was in the FZR1000 - 10 years ago and more.

Well, I don't buy too much stock in magazine numbers (not to say that is your primary source). I just thought it'd be important to point out that the Kawi 6R and 9R tend to be the most popular drag bikes of choice. Mostly because the 9R is usually underrated on power. Not to mention that every bike is different. The bikes that magazine authors get to test are usually blueprinted.
