Default Wtf?

C'mon?

30K? for a cam, some valves, a slipper clutch and tranny perks. O.K. it could be pricey and you'd need a real mechanic to install, tune it. But $30K?

Race intended means that you can't access that HP increase if you're a lowly street rider and don't live at the track where only Gods of bikes exist, making their laps lofting inches above the tarmac, floating above the rest of us, poor, slow, idiots that don't deserve bikes that have horsepower?

I thought us lowly street riders spent ridiculous amounts of money on every upgrade we can get our ham fisted, grubby little hands on. I just wondered if .......ANYONE had done it.

"NONE of it will make your bike faster unless you can ride at that level and by that level I mean national level racer who gets paid to ride".

Are you serious? So power commanders don't make your bike faster, better flowing exhausts. I guess I'll just buy bright colored gear and pose, since performance upgrades won't improve my..............performance unless I'm a licensed, sponsored, racer?

Don't mean to flame on you dude, but I've just seen this attitude so much. We love bikes and ride when we can, as hard as we can, cut us a break if you're better, more experienced than us, don't punish me with statements like that.
