Would you like to compare how and where either a 600 or 1000 makes peak torque.
I'd be willing to bet that there is more torque in an XB motor at 4,000 than your GSXR at 4,000.
Compared to the XB mil, you do have to "rev the crap out of it" to get more torque.
Just sayin'.

Buell
71.9 @ 5750
GSXR
79.9 @ 8500 and the GSXR is making about 65 ft/lbs at 4500
I'm not sure but I'm guessing they're the same or really close...and for the record, the Buell has 200 more ccs than my bike so nyahh!!! Anyway, I am honestly joking but if you want to get into it... I didn't force Buell to use an inferior engine configuration, you know. That's my biggest problem with this whole situation, first you all tell me how great the Buell is and then you start making excuses for the air cooled engine or the ZTL brakes, the 473lb weight, etc...I didn't design the fucking thing, why is it my fault?
Anyway, I understand that some people love these bikes and that's great, but that doesn't make them "better". The fact remains that both the 1125R and the XB12 have more than 1000ccs and shouldn't be compared to 600s like it's some "apple to apple" comparison. That's bullshit imho!
Hey, here's another chart and this bike does have more torque at 4000!!!
Anyway, this is the very definition of beating a dead horse! Get it? Buell's symbol is Pegasus!
Come on man, you're taking this way too serious! I'm sure that you'll do fine and this will all be a memory in a few years.
Hell, I had money on a GTS1000 and got a V-Max instead. I was going to buy it for almost $13,000! Three months later Yamaha dropped it and the price to about $8,000...
God, I would have been pissed!!!
