I am not into revving the nuts out off the engine. My favourite riding style is carving the back roads using the mid range and not shifting much at all. My previous bike was a souped up Bandit 1200. Never dynoed but it had more top end power (116,6 rwhp for my triumph). I would say a Speed Triple with a free breathing 1200-1300cc engine with 130Nm and 130-140hp would be sweet.
I guess I am getting old at 36 years but the triple feels almost strong enough for me. I am mechanically inclined but cheap as hell. I would not buy any 1000€ part to get 3 more hp. Any free or cheap mods are welcome. Bandit was a perfect example. Homemade 4-2-1 system, airbox mods, gsxr cams, skimmed and home ported head etc. Did not cost anything but kicked pretty well and never missed a beat. http://www.koti.mbnet.fi/b12
