There's one for my ZRX1200R - pushes it up to 187 HP I think.

Never had it on a dyno. Came up with the 150 based on weight and
speed in the quarter mile. Note that the weight, speed and power are
all similar to the ZX14 and Busa. It was nearly twice the power of
the stick bike while running two atmospheres of absolute pressure.
The blower pistons had a bit less compression than stock in order to
run the higher boost without detonation.

If you've never had t-bone steak, peanut butter tastes just fine.
I've never had a bike that I didn't like at the time. Looking back, I've had a
few comparative clunkers. But I've never had a bike that works as well *for me*
as the ST does. The V65s were faster off the line and nothing could compare to
the combined power delivery and unearthly howl of the mighty V4 between 7k and
redline. But the ST will beat it on top end (not that it matters to me) and is
scads more comfortable.
That said, every time I have sat on a 650 Vstrom I've wanted to trade my ST for
it. I have resisted so far but I'm getting weaker. I have yet to actually ride
one. I'm almost afraid to.

You're right, of course, and I am merely frustrated.

On the other hand, when you let these creatures rave on without comment it
gives them -and possibly others as well- the idea that nobody out here
actually opposes their drivel. (What was that old line about how he who
stands silent in the face of evil fails in his duty towards his fellow man?)
Example: one member of a club I belong to is an overt homophobe. He used to
complain regularly about how "There are so many queers around these days.
The country's going to Hell!"
In reply I quietly -and repeatedly- pointed out that there are no more of
them out there than there ever were, but that more and more are refusing to
hide who and what they are; which is not a bad thing.
Results? Twofold:
He no longer speaks to me, but he also no longer badmouths gays at our club
meetings.
I look upon both results as being positive in nature. >> Stay informed about: Motorcycle Horsepower Question |

Well, in that case, we're going to have to find some way to let him

 Just in case you were wondering; that list of dishonorable posters is
quite short, and you don't feature on it.
Misguided, yes. Opinionated, very.
But dishonorable? Not you. >> Stay informed about: Motorcycle Horsepower Question |

Why, thanks. I think. 
Although I like to think that in my 11.5 years here in Reeky I have
become a little less misguided, I'm pretty sure I've become even more
opinionated! >> Stay informed about: Motorcycle Horsepower Question |

I'm not going to stop reading Reeky, I enjoy reading the posts of
people you call "racists" as they practice their freedom of speech,
and I am encouraged to respond, and some of the "racists" reply to me
and cross-post my messages to other
users with a similar political viewpoint.
Back in the 1770's, my ancestors had to laboriously copy their
messages of political dissent and hand deliver them to other Sons of
Liberty at the risk of being arrested, imprisoned and even hanged.
Today, my patriotic messages move at the speed of electricity and are
read by people who want to read them, and there is not a damned thing
you can do about that.

What messages are your sending, and In what way are your messages
patriotic?

Seems to me those forefathers you talk about had the guts to sign
their names to the constitution and stand behind their words. You, on
the other hand, are an cowardly troll, afraid to even say what your
name is. That shows your real level of conviction.

He can't even keep the same fake name so people can kill file
