Dyno charts wouldn't mean anything to a "poser". Because they'd be too worried about having a beginner friendly bike. ;o) Tell me this, when the 929's came out, they were around $10,000. After a few months, when no-one wanted them, all the shops around here had them for $7999, why? Anyway people who like to go fast, and care about performance actually look at dyno charts, imagine that! Why buy a bike with less power? I will not buy a 2002 R1, if it doesn't have more rwhp power than the GSXR1000, plain and simple. I don't want a smooth, beg. friendly bike, I want a hard hitting beast. Horsepower is the main factor, if it wasn't the Gixxer wouldn't be the "best bike" as of now. I mean if the Gixxer had the hp as the 929 it surely wouldn't be the #1 bike. But all people have different tastes, so be it. The horsepower is what does it for me, and DYNO charts read hp.

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark here and guess that you don't ride much do ya? See, the thing about sportbikes is that you can LEAN on them.... I know you like to go fast in a straight line, and that's really cool for impressing your fellow ignorant friends, but when it comes to shredding twisties and scraping pegs, there are few bikes as balanced as the 929RR.

Here's a hint, it's ALL in the rider (99% of it). I can still pass my friend that ride R1's and 929's on my "little ZX-6R". I ask you this, how much good are your "dyno charts" gonna do for you when you hit a decreasing-radius, downhill turn TOO HOT? You'll wish that bike was more flickable.....I swear that to you. If you honestly think 2 hp makes a big difference, then fine....that's cool. You're entitled to your own opinion. However, doggin the RR for power band is just plain ignorant. It's got the smoothest powerband and the most low-end power of any of the other liter bikes out there.....
