00:00It is an absolute riot, but what's most impressive is that it's really really tractable low in the rev range
00:07I think this thing makes peak power somewhere around
00:127,700 rpm somewhere around that but below that it's nice in linear. This isn't a machine that's gonna spook you
00:18It's got nice easy power. You just bleed on the throttle and you don't have to worry about it taking off
00:24It's a lot smoother
00:25Than some of the old K&Ms that we're used to and I gotta say it makes some competitors feel a little herky-jerky
00:32So K&M got all of that power out of that 1000 by increasing the compression ratio
00:38I think it's up to like 11.8 to 1
00:41However, this machine can still run 87 octane and when you do it only hits you with a power penalty of around 3%
00:48That's pretty good. Like the 500 and 700 this machine, which is the 1000 R is
00:52Identical driveline wise to the 850 the only difference is an ECU flash
