that’s true manufacturing a fast bike is a another thing completely. KHI has to worry about longevity concerning the bike racers don't.

True dat and that's one reason Honda refuses to play the big HP game. Honda knows how to make horsepower as well as any company in the world but they have very high reliability standards for their street products including the repli-racers. Hondas don't always make the most HP but they do seem to hold together well over the long haul.
