That review was from August 2000. The reviewer also seems slanted towards sport bikes according to this comment...

Quote:
Maximum power comes in at a claimed 82 HP at 8,500rpm - which is dead on the redline. That's pretty low for a sport bike (the modern Japanese sport bikes kick out around the 13,000 mark), and if you try to push it beyond that the power falls off quicker than a Psycho Canada test rider (yes that quick!).
Why is he mentioning a sport bike when the TBS is anything but. This is just a silly review by a clueless person.

You got that right Ballacraine, some folks just won't know a good thing if it hits them square in the face.

Ride on
