If anything it shows how much emissions have choked output on these motors. It takes a 50cc increase to get back to where we were in 1986 power wise, and of course a large helping of extra weight to go along with it.
I'm guessing these new Ninja 300 will really scream with an aftermarket exhaust + power commander.
