Trade it in on a CBR1000. The simplest and cheapest way to get you there....

Sometimes a simple sprocket change will give the desired result, depending on what you're after. It's cheap, too! My son's Hurricane is down one and up two in the front and rear respectively. Really gets up and goes and is still comfortable at license losing speeds. Not that that's a good idea. Your results may vary. :laughing:

Without NOS or turbo or internal engine mods, you could only really get K&N air filters or a high flow air kit and a power commander with a custom map installed. Changing the sprocket doesn't add HP, it just changes the gear ratio to give the bike either more low end or high end gearing. Sometimes even a skinnier rear tire could help out also. Or like that other guy said, just trade in your bike for a bigger one. The GXXR1000 or R1 are beasts.

Well you would figure that by 2202 a man could get more horsepower and a bit easier too. :laughing:

quickest and easiest way to squeeze some more performance on that bike would be a simple sprocket change. Should bring it up to the level of a stock 1000RR class bike in acceleration.

depending on what kind of riding you do you might also look into suspension upgrades and a steering damper.

these little upgrades with some good riding technique will have you leaving the average literbike rider in the dust.
