I always find the masterbike cycle world articles lacking in juicy details, but here it is anyway. Shiva posted the cycleworld article PDF.

Interesting that the weights of these bikes are more than I thought with the R1 weighing 471 pounds!

I think with a little more work, I can get my K12R to weigh that with 1/2 tank of gas.

Just finished reading the article... While it's always good to see these type tests... in reality.. it's has little to do with real world riding...

They tested all these bikes on a track that was near freezing... allowing the riders only 4 laps or so each bike.. All the bikes had different tires...The riders ranged from ex-racers to moto-journalists.. ???

I admit that would be fun, but IMHO it was no more than a photo op...

However.. Very cool to see the S1000RR smoke them all so convincingly...
