Guys on the land speed forums are already trying to figure a way to overgear the blower and add intercooler
Next year should be interesting

for your track bikeyour such a hater
so i guess you think the motogp guys who are running with 240-260hp dont need the electronics to help them go faster
accept the technology.....reduce the power whatever you want to call it
its only improving......
go ride one for yourself and the results will speak for itself, kawi's t/c that came out in 2011 is still remarkably less intrusive then the bmw and yamaha, somewhat comparable to aprilia systems.... interesting huh, given that they have 4 more years of r&d to rework their system to handle the additional horsepower
until then you really cant speak upon it because you have no real life experience
and seriously reducing just the power is just a part of the complete t/c system however it is a main role in the different power mode map selections - which you maybe thinking of

besides everybody seems to forget that 300hp will also come with BUTTLOADS of uber torque
i bet it feels like a space shuttle launch everytime you roll on the throttle coming off the apex

Oh I don't doubt that, and that's my point all along. Even bikes with massive power output like say a turbo Busa can be maxed out at the right time and place. Which is why I disagree with the having high powered bike is a "waste" crowd.
Regardless if the bike puts out 35, 100, or 300 HP, all of its power can be use at times, just not all the time. So if we are arguing that one is a waste than it also applies to the others.
Like it or not, power output for bikes will continue to climb because there's a demand for it. And if manufactures don't produce it in house, plenty of aftermarket vendors can fill that void.
All the "too much" or "wasted" power talks from the few have been going on for decades now regardless if it's the Vincent, Busa, R1, etc., when it debut so nothing new. And guess what, many riders have ridden those bikes just fine without looping it. The issue is not the power output, it's the rider and how he/she goes about operating those bikes. That applies to riders that ride low power bikes too.

that's about 197hp so less than the new 2015 S1000RR at 199hp

Interesting. Isn't that what Kaw claimed for its current ZX10-R (w/o a charger) when it debut a few years ago?
If it's only producing the same power, it would be failure in Kaw's part considering how much more the H2 cost.

Jeremy Toye tested it today
said he took it up to 210mph with plenty left
said the hype is real
said at 210mph the ride was butter smooth
said the wings work

The peak power number by itself doesn't mean anything. If they configured the supercharger to boost the power lower in the rev range, the bike could be a lot more powerful and a lot faster than the ZX-10R even though the peak power is the same. That would certainly be the smart thing for them to do. The shape of the power curve is hugely important, not just the height of its peak.
The peak power number is just useful for spec sheet bragging.
Christ, we know that. The last 2-3 pages have been about it.
Just saying when your N/A liter bike makes close to 200 and your flagship SC bike also makes 200, it's not a good look from a marketing standpoint.

Forth post. That's pretty good.

They still should have made it over 200hp!
That's too much of a difference between the race and the street version

It likely has to be choked up to pass emissions. I would wager that you could have 240+ with minimal effort and cost.

Yeah, I bet it would be very easy to squeeze a ton more power out of it with not too much effort. Probably a re-map and maybe a stiffer spring or a few turns of a screw.

Then get passed by a 650 in the turns
the theory here is that if one buys a $40K motorcycle, they are at the point with their skills that this would not happen, it shouldn't take that much skill anyway with that much power to pull away enough on the straights to keep a 650 away from you...otherwise one really shouldnt be buying that motorcycle

In theory.
Tho I'm sure this has happened a million times, I very clearly remember something that made much chuckle a few years back...
Three 40-something buttplugs dressed in their $500 boots, $1k jackets, $300 gloves, $800 helmets, and $200 JEANS hopped on their matching $20k+ Ducati superbikes and herked, jerked and wobbled out of a *$x parking lot as I watched, mouth agape. Obviously total noobz on very fast, quite expensive motorbikes. Money and horsepower is no obstacle for those hell bent on posing. Some no-skill squid WILL buy and WILL crash one of these things.
