Measuring it against a Hayabusa is actually a fair way to gauge where the GSX-8R sits. Getting this much praise for low-to-mid torque from a new 770cc parallel-twin says they packed in usability beyond what the spec sheet shows. It's a reminder that raw horsepower isn't the only thing that gets your pulse up.
