I have heard that many sportbikes are more or less even untill they get up to faster speeds. The problem they have is keeping the front wheel on the ground. Many 600cc bikes can more or less keep up with liter bikes to 60mph, but then the liter bike can really lay down its power.

With the hyabusa and other highpower bikes I can only asume they have this problem untill much higher speeds than 60. And if modding is part of the equation, just turbocharge the hyabusa. The race would get really interesting then...

Not trying to take some of the thunder away from the big twin bore bikes, but there is more to it than just being able to take a hyabusa up to 120.
