Lots of bullshit in here. The big four not the euros had a preemptive agreement to limit top speed to 300kph because the 12R was going to put the smack down on the busa...which in turn had just whooped the blackbird. They were worried about governments getting involved so they imposed limits. They are not limiting chp, that's bullshit. Metering it out yes but not specifically limiting it. This is because supers had a life cycle of every two years for a while. The H2R is dynoing at 325whp or so. Many current literbikes are quoting 200chp+ and no the S1000RR Carbon doesn't weigh 300lbs. Groms aren't changing everything...they are just a cheap basic toy to play with. And to say that LSR is for colossal faggots just shows me you know dick. Just because you can or wont use a specific type of bike to it's full potential doesn't mean that others don't every day. That's nonsense. Saying that there is no good argument for making bikes faster is a dumb statement. The same arguments that are presented for cars applies to motorcycles and more encompassing all vehicles. And no it isn't about justification.
If I want a 1000whp turbobus for a daily rider I will because fuck what you think. Don't like them don't ride them. OP you contradict yourself. When you change the hp/wt ratio you improve performance. And yes the top speed might be limited but the acceleration has changed so your only gripe can be the top speed stock. Because gearing changes are SO hard with a bike right? As for the same geometry for bikes...what? They have been an evolving geometry for years and as such have been further and further optimized as new versions of models present themselves by those who develop them. So there are changes made as different groups present what they feel is the optimized bike. It's cyclical...they evolve/devolve into perpetuity. So a new version is presented again and again ad infinitum.
