Fishing aside, it's more like the motorbike equivalent of a Porsche: Ducati Desmosedici RR - Porsche 911 GT3 Ducati 1098 / 1198 - Porsche 911 Ducati 900ss - Porsche 356 The GSXR would be, I dunno, an Evo10 FQ-400 or something.

Alloy head & crankcase, but a cast iron block - I dunno if that disqualifies it for you?

Well some of them, sure, although you're right in inferring that I was really meaning four strokes. And ref your point lower down, I was also thinking about big ones (fnaar) and although I think the H1 was nominally higher than 50bhp (but really?), not many of the others were, even at quoted figures. ISTR neither the H2 nor the kettle were much more than 65-70. >For four-strokes, Honda's little CB125T was knocking out something >like 13-14 real-world bhp (17 claimed) in 1977. 33 years ago. >I think its CB92 >sportster of the previous decade was over 100bhp/litre, too. Furry muff, that's one. >Kawasaki's Z650 was 64bhp claimed, so fractionally under the 100bhp >bar, but close enough. Again, not even close to 40+ years ago.
