Either unlikely or too high strung to last more than 200 miles between rebuilds.
If the 1198R is only making around 170hp, where do you think Buell/Rotax are getting the other 30?

Erik Buell Racing is showing a Euro Spec 1190 at 185RWHP. It's not 200RWHP, but it's pretty good.

Arent they even smaller than yours?

Cuz if they are, theres no way i'd be anywhere near comfortable on it for any length of time.

Would be in my top to choices for a track bike though (If I had a track to go to), along with another rc, which is a fairly big bike.

Have to have drewpy verify, but from my 10 min on the RC, the 1125R is far roomier and more comfortable.

Same position, a little bit bigger. The cr can be easily fixed.
