Big numbers: The Kawasaki's and Suzuki's graphs criss-cross at lower revs until the Suzuki gains an advantage at the top end. Maximum rpm is about the same for both bikes, the Kawasaki just missing the final, 11,000-rpm data point and the Suzuki going a hair beyond. The most powerful current literbike is the GSX-R at 158.2 horsepower (boring!), and the sportbike with the highest torque we've tested recently is the Ducati 1098, with 77.5 ft-lb (yawn).
