    Ok I think I will just change plugs and see if the seat of my pants can tell. I'm going on a week long ride soon and with that 117 so will be matched up numerus times. Today I test rode a new BMW 1600 B and my god was it a acceleration machine. Felt smaller than my B. Also rode a GS 1250 and dang it is really fast also with some higher than us HP numbers. Really small feeling and not for me. Both beamers had high rev limits and that is where they excel. The Rocket 3 was beautiful and large but did not sit large. They said short people had complained about the size so they make it better for them. I bet I could fix it with an RDL seat and Helibars but now your talking mid 20s.

    That's why it's good to have an FJR in the garage. 145hp...
