I said it before .. and will say it again ... does your R18 not have enough power? not fast enough to break the various posted speed suggestions (limits :LOL: ) ... well mine does ... if you really need that much more power and speed .. maybe should have bought a Ducati, Aprilia or 'Rice' Rocket ... or maybe a BMW S1000RR ... just my 2¢ ...

EDIT: That is not in specific against SLR ... that includes BT as well .. and any others that may be on offer.

Yes I 110% need more power. I really dislike getting left in the dust and constantly trying to catch up to the pack in my motorcycle club. They all ride harley / Indian baggers and my r18 ts can't keep up. There is a huge difference in power and acceleration between the newer harley/Indian bikes especially after they have intake exhuast and tuned. The r18 is a complete and total dog that is widely underpowered. The whole point of the r18 was to go toe to toe with herley on their turf and instead in terms of performance it's laughable.
 
I'm not looking for more power just some fine-tuning. One of the biggest complaints I have is that that deceleration when you're turning sometimes there's a little blurb where the throttle increases just a little bit and it's very disconcerting. Bucking and rev lag is an issue too. It's just a small things I'm looking for.
