The pinnacle of two wheeled performance.: MotoGP bikes. Weighing in at less than 150 kilos and producing over 200 horsepower. Wrap yourself in leather, hold on, and hope nothing bad happens.

*drool* I was sitting on a CBR1000RR at the motorcycle shop this afternoon, trying to justify the cost, but these bikes make all street-legal motorcycles look like Vespas. I used to watch GP motorcycle racing a lot, including riding in and camping out at the USGP when Kenny Roberts brought it to Laguna Seca in the late 90s. I haven't watched it at all for a few years, and I didn't even know they had switched to 4-strokes. Thanks for the link, rogerd!
