This 2001 R1 is last of carbureted "new-gen compact" models in response to Honda's revolutionary CBR900RR. It still has 5-valve engine from previous generations.

power = 148-150bhp, that's +120hp more than Ninjette!
wet-weight = 457lbs, +83lbs more
0-60mph = 2.96s
1/4-mile = 10.3s @133mph
top-speed = 167mph !!!

That's some serious speed! The extra mass should tame extra power somewhat. Be careful under braking and cornering as it won't do those as well as Ninjette. First couple laps out, I find myself skipping back tyre under braking and tucking front-end in corners on CBR600RR after session on Ninjette, and that's only an extra 35-lbs!

Heck, if you don't like it, I'll buy it off you!
