Can’t say about the 1100, but a 2018 1000rsv factory was no match for my 15R1 in roll on.
Tried it in 4 different gears and from low speeds and the R1 …login to view the rest of this post

Careful with a normal fork supporter stand. If you catch the abs sensor it's $$$ down the tube.

R1 really works well at race pace. Even for trackdays it's too much bike. I'd say a standard bike that can lap within 2 secs of national lap times is …login to view the rest of this post

Wear on the pistons does not sound good !! Is this common ? Any other info or pics ?

Veteran

Thanks for replies guys. And I agree 190 is damn high. But the question remains .....why 190nm ?
Any engineers here ?

Veteran

Question to all the engineering guys,

In all my years, I have never had a 1000cc bike ask for much a…login to view the rest of this post
