I can't read it, what does it say?
EDIT:OK so they contradict themselves, that proves they're incompetent.

They list the 12 and 14 as having twin spar frames. Not much for details are they.

If you read the article, is explains that they managed to de-restrict the ZX-14 for the top speed measurement.............and then went on to compare it with a bunch of restricted bikes.
Made the whole thing a bit meaningless.
Someone else said "MCN = More Crap than News" Sometimes I think he was right.

What does this say? I can't read it off the link that you posted.
It states, at the very bottom, that several disgruntled ZX-12R owners wrote to complain about the power #s. MCN says that they inadvertently gave the power figures of the ZZR-1200 instead of the ZX-12R. Oops! The real #s for the 12 are hp=159.4 & ft-lb=90.4 which you think might change the outcome of the test?

I wonder how would BMW R 1200 RT do in the low end?
Anyone knows a comparison to any other bike in the above dyno chart
and I mean a comparison using a similar dyno chart

How would that have any effect on the outcome of the test?
