But the 1098 is very nice and I cant wait to see one on the track in race trim...

180bhp for the road going `R` and an easy 210bhp in track trim. WOW!!!!

They are saying the standard 1098 is 160bhp and it out-drags a Gixxer Thou.

Cant wait to ride one!!!

160 at the wheel or at the crank?

160 at the crank is about 140 at the wheel - ok but nothing special.

160 at the wheel means 180 at the crank, which I just don't believe from a 1100 cc twin.
