The trouble is people buy bikes like this because of the figures on paper rather than if it is any good to ride.
Bikes like the Thunderace and zx9 were killed off by this trend even though, on the road, they were better than the bikes that replaced them.
This will be bought by the same boring b'stards that buy Desmosedici's and spend more time talking about it than riding it.

In spite of being a bit of a power junkie I tend to side with James on this one. 300bhp is a lot of ponies, in fact double that off my FZ1. The only time I ever used about 80% of my 150 bhp for a sustained length of time was when the road opened up during a trip to Scotland. With our congested and deteriorating roads where could you unleash that kind of power? Would love a go though. Lol.
As I have said many times before, unlike motorists the biking fraternity carry little clout at the ballot box. I can see a time when a future government could impose power restrictions on two wheels. 300 bhp on a road bike is knocking on the door of insanity. Giza go.
