good engine them. good midrange and quick too. all these were carbs i think. some guys on here use em.
bhp will be on loads of websites.
make sure you search for cbr1000f.

The power delivery is very linear - quite torquey but very heavy.
135bhp 77lbft
Dead cheap though.

Not the best top end due to the reduction gear, but still capable of making a Locost going indecently fast.
You could also look for posts under the usernam Kissy as he had one in his.

Nice car, but absolute nutter. Some of them roundabout moves were mad.
