The modified CBR1000RR shows a healthy increase in bottom-end and midrange power over the already strong stock curve. Our CBR1000RR has lost a bit of peak horsepower since our literbike test, and the modified bike shows little gain in that area. European dyno charts show more peak horsepower, and according to American Honda the U.S., models have been capped using ECU mapping to meet noise requirements. We were hoping the exhaust system and EFI mapping would bypass the limitations, but if anything the ECU may be preventing the modifications from showing their full potential.
