i dont know which has more power, but i was readinga mag. that compared the ZX10, R1, CBR 1KRR, and GSXR1000 and on overall performance the CBR won. i thought that was pretty cool.

Sure its not the rider who cant keep up? No offense intended but when people ride same size bike its generally all rider skill that determines who is leadin and who "just wants to keep up".

And no offense intended here, but if you're buying a bike in order to keep up or, god forbid, post a stupid speed for the retarded speed thread in here, then stick with a car. Or enjoy dying.

a 1k is a 1k, comes down to skill since power is so slow....and dont try to keep up if you cant...you will lose

You could have bought any 600 or even an SV650 and it would keep up just as well. It's all rider skill unless it's for a poser blast down the highway at wot.

From a power stand point, there is not a 600cc bike on the planet that can keep up with a 1000rr.

^^ True, 600's have less hp than 1000's. But power has nothing to do with "keeping up".

First off, you bought your bike for the wrong reason. Anyone buying a bike purely to keep up with someone will be road pizza in no time. Or your brother will be road pizza trying to play. Ok the party pooper has spoken now for the fun stuff.
If you were talking keep up at eyeball flattening speeds than your 07 will do that but keep in mind both bikes have different power curves. You may want to mess with the pipes and add apower commander.As well as learning to ride at a track day event.
If you are talking up to 100mph than why keep up. Sprocket upgradeswill keep you in front with some track day learning.
If you have never ridden anything but a 500 or 600 and your brother has been on his R1 for years don't try to keep up. You'll die a horrible death. Learn how the bike handles and feels first and slowly get your comfort zone up. Never ride your bike outside of that comfort zone just to keep up with your brother though. The only thingriding out of your comfort zone will bring you is death, debilitation, carnage, or at the very least it will have you never living it down when your brother finds out you need a change of your shorts.
