Hmm, yes: interesting article. I do have an anorak (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anorak_(slang)) comment, though 
.
The article says the 1kF at 60mph is at 3750rpm and the RR is 4110rpm. Last Sunday I rode my mate's '07 FireBlade and noticed that at 4000rpm the speedo said about 105kph, then, on Monday, I rode my '89 1kF and at 4000rpm the speedo also said about 105kph. Yeah, yeah: inaccurate speedos, whatever, but the article implies fairly different gearing which my highly scientific observations didn't confirm.
One area the 1000F outperforms the RR big-time is in comfort: 500km on the FireBlade and I was ready to be hositalised...

how is it possible that on that review the braking distance on hurricane is shorter than fireblade? And 2,75 sec to 100kph ? really those are numbers to be proud but are those real also? I always thought that she goes a bit over 3 seconds to 100kph.
And the brakes at least on my bike are definitely not that good as 09 fireblade.
