And put on excellent tyres.Become a better rider.
Do a rider training course, some trackdays, gain experience.
You'll enjoy it far more than trying to extract more HP.. cheaper too.
These forums are always full of trolls and people that get butthurt about stuff. This is why i tend to shy away from them.Disappointed by the general attitude here.
You have a problem with others discussing possible modifications on a bike? Seriously? You don't own the place. Nobody is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to read anything here. Nor is anyone forcing you to spend money on your CBR.
Consider this my last post on the forum, since the owner of the forum doesn't seem to care about this stupidity. Have fun.
I am right there with you Brother...Right on and Well said!!!!!Become a better rider.

I can't argue that. It's an accurate statement. On a twisty road, skill trumps horse power more often than not.Become a better rider.

yep, but you expect that. You can still make a good showing with a smaller bike.It does make sense to improve riding skills, but when your buddys are riding 600's or 1000's i don't care who you are they will pull on you. It is nice to have a little more umph coming out of corners.

Believe it or not 9 times out of 10 i'm infront of all my buddys that ride bigger bikes. But I have also been riding longer than most of them. I've spent more time racing on the dirt than the street but it's a pretty easy swap.
WOW!.. just wow , lol.Disappointed by the general attitude here.

To the OP's point - improved rider skill helps everywhere, specifically where HP doesn't. Brake late, corner faster, and roll on sooner - that is the beauty of the light razor-blade bikes like the CBR.It does make sense to improve riding skills, but when your buddys are riding 600's or 1000's i don't care who you are they will pull on you.
