Back on track. I'm not a racer, and not the best rider out there. Doing the rider schools to get better feedback, and training to be a better rider. Not comparing myself to anyone else. But it always prompts the thought. And thats what forums are for.
Lots of variables, and lots of opinions. I have never raced, and I have only ever ridden at a pace that is "fast" for me, slow for others, and insane to some others again... on the road.
Apologies if discussion offends people here... appears to
I'll see if there is a point to post my results from my virgin track day... they might not be worthy But if people drop the BS attitude, and some seem interested, I might bother.
Moderators, delete the post and my account if I'm to abrupt for the likes of this place
you have no idea, i was at autoclub speedway last month and you would not believe the number of guys on 1000's sand bagging on the long ass front straight and not realizing it. i would use all my gearing there.

Ive ridden a friends S1k,they have NO low end or midrange power&dont start to make steam until 10k rpm. The 05-08 GSXR's have a huge advantage in those rpms ranges but once the S1k hits 11k its a monster. Add to that your gearing change and it would "feel" significantly faster then your friends BMW.
To achieve a legit 184rwhp on your bike you would need cams,headwork and some compression as a pipe&tune simply will not do it.
We dont delete accounts here so you are stuck with us
I asked opinions, and I dont have to agree with people's opinion. What I wanted to hear was to see what others were getting, and when I read through this forum, the range for a 1000 GSXR appears to be between 160-180HP....
So who is right and who is wrong.

Just a discussion. No need to get upset that your word isnt gospel bud
My word is fact.. Much more reliable than gospel..

Yes.. just like all of you I put on stickers... impress my bfs with wheelies... wear singlet and shorts... and talk shit on the public forum.
Thanks for the one or two genuine and what could be deemed intelligent responses:-)
Unfortunate for the rest. Dickheads
The reason GSXR owners get a bad rap is because of cluless riders such as yourself,you know they type..the dude who puts a pipe&PC on his 1000 and magically has 25hp more then stock,will run 8s in the 1/4 and top out at 210mph all while standing looking at his bike at Starbucks bragging to his friends or to people who actually know youre full of shit. So yeah,thanks for making us GSXR riders look bad
YOU are the one throwing up imaginary dyno numbers and acting like a douche. welcome to the most track-oriented bike model forum on the web.
The douche is you buddy. Im not interested in calling individuals names. But throw shit my way and expect some back.
Before you claim any prowess... earn it.
I'm new here and having had asked a simple question I received more negative derogatory comments than anything usefull or positive. So thus for this is one poor form forum... but I'm sure amongst the garbage there will be some normal people here too.
The workshop responsible for the tuning and print out is one well known here for setting up bikes for those who race... even with their good reputation I still felt the numbers high. Hence asking the question.
The imaginary bs is you guys talking shite when you definitely could go about it differently.
At the end of the day, if you cannot constructively take criticism for the way you do things on here... well.. you'll eventually become a forum for a few members that share the same low common denominator. Or maybe not. It is cool to be a dumb Fk these days... especially in the ;-)
I just re read the thread. It was not until you got butthurrt that the thread went downhill.
Simply put you refuse to accept the answer to the question you asked and keep defending it.
Your bike is not making 184rwhp.
It might be making 184 projected crank HP . But unless this shop went into the motor and did some major mods either you, your buddy, or the shop, or all three are delusional

Butthurt?? Didn't realize I was dealing with faggots to have to watch my arse?
See... that's the type of dumb fck shit I'm talking about.
I don't accept the manner in which replies were posted.
As I said. I did not buy it new... so do not know what has been done apart from the visually obvious.
It's been prepped for racing. But prev owner claimed no internal work had been done.
Workshop claims it's at the wheel.
Anyways. Thanks for the info. Atleast I know that most of you expect about 20 hp less.
So if dyno right then internal work potentially done.
I'll leave you all to looking for someone who enjoys being "butt raped".. good luck with that

Yeah.. that's me all over... you blunt tool.
Ps. I don't count in mph... you know... there is a world beyond your Starbucks, and yeeeehaaa cowboy mentality bs.
The reason gsxr riders get a bad rap is first and foremost the stupidity coming out of the USA on a gixer... spend a few minutes on youtube... you might just see my point.
But if people drop the BS attitude, and some seem interested, I might bother.

Noone is making you stay on this forum.
