I think I said before I didn't buy one because of the conflict of interest with the 961 . They are nice no doubt about it. I am playing around with the Z900RS and with AKRA pipe and retune getting close to 120HP at the rear wheel. That's nothing for a 4 cyl machine , and it was so easy to get with pipe / tune and K&N panel air filter. Good gas mileage too. The Harley XR1200 is making 85HP at the rear wheel by the way. Just had that in to the dyno too. So Norton's at the bottom of the pile HP wise , but surprisingly feels just as fast as the XR . I attribute that to the extra XR weight I suppose. I am pretty sure if Dreer would have made it 1200cc instead of 961cc it would probably be making 85HP as well. With the cylinders as close together as they are , stroking it would get the extra CC's , won't be doing that just thinking out loud. Bore 88mm x stroke 98mm would do it. And now thinking about that , there is probably not enough room for that either !
