Isn't an R gonna exceed the power:weight ratio? I've seen two R's on a dyno...one was delivering 108bhp at the rear wheel and the other was giving 113 when well set up with an Ultimap chip and the throttle bodies properly matched. Given someone on Motoforum said their Bip weighed 187kg (an R is lighter) that makes the R exceed the power:weight ratio without taking the road kit off. You'll be sticking lead weights on it!

Mind you...I'm looking to buy one now
