That nasty blue and red has to go, including seat. The ugly windows next.

Engine bearings upgraded? Where are the dyno diagrams?
Reduce the power to a more feasible level.

Handling ok?

That nice!

No its not STUPID power.
I've ridden Busa's that had more, and have mates with more powerful bikes.
If its well set up it should be OK, just nice to have that monster punch when you want it.

Just because it can make those numbers doesn't mean you need to all the time.
It'd be nice to have a 14 that didn't need a bit more.

Blackpool!!
If the bike was travelling at full tilt using every one of those ponies and it tried to cross the Tower Bar floor, it would grind to an instant halt 😀👍

50 Years worth of Beer on that floor!
