Cincy: hotrod plans/what to do? ACK!

[JoshuaA.Conner@VerizonWireless.com (JoshuaA.Conner@VerizonWireless.com)]

my first "modern" sportbike(the one i was talking about) was an '87 with an
engine designed in the late 70's. "GSX-R"

Josh-
    Don't make the mistake of comparing a modern bike engine with a
15/20-year-old design like our 'rocs.  The combustion-chamber designs on
modern sport-bikes, along with their smaller combustion chambers, enable
them to run higher compression than is possible with our cars.
