He gets a chuckle from the young guys who show up with a new sportbike. They all have the magazine review theoretical et and fully expect to better that. Of course that is usually a calculated number based on claimed horsepower and dry weight, two things manufacturers sometimes fib about. And then it is based on the ultimate perfect run, not happening with a firstimer.
Instead of running in the mid tens as expected, they run in the high 12s. That alone is a bummer, then the guy who just beat them on the old man's poser bike takes off his helmet- and he's a senior citizen! Not good!
Ret, the Thrux drag racer tells us that some have their bikes modified for power after losing. Others just purchase a new machine with even more power. They remain quite beatable.
Others hunker down and learn how to manage the power that their existing bikes have. They can get really quick, but never magazine quick.
Getting back to the fairing, that Omega fairing looks great on the website. The price is crazy low compared to North American or UK costs to make something like that.
