Spain is apparently thinking about the 100hp restriction too. Aren't there talks in the UK about restricting top speed for all bikes?
These crooked politicians should be forced to regulate themselves first.
I guess there could be a major problem for the rider in case of a bad accident. The insurance crooks, another bunch of crooks, would dig into it in order to avoid paying a claim no doubt.
With regards to the comment about the 600 vs. the Busa: yes the weight is there, but I think the max. torque value is affected little. There must have restricted the output at high rpm. I would much rather own a restricted 1340cc bike than a 600 for my type of riding (all around).
