Not only do these two hyperbikes have more torque than current literbikes, their gear ratios are more spread out and more appropriate for real-world street riding. That equates to more thrust at the rear wheel in the lower gears; in first gear the Hayabusa and ZX-14 pound out almost 1000 pounds; the typical literbike peaks at about 750. The Kawasaki has a major-overdrive sixth gear and a theoretical top speed of 207 mph; the Suzuki maxes out at a theoretical 203 mph.
