True, but these hypersports generate power differently and have lots of torque so even with similar bhp figures on paper the experience would feel different while riding these. I am sure Kawasaki is aware of their numbers and they are aware that against what ZX14 is pitted against

Even I understand this thing you say, but you didn't read my text carefully. You just read the title...

The text was my own. The title was from Visordown. And I clearly favoured the moves by Kawasaki or didn't object to it.
This was what I typed after the figures:

And, a stroke increase was needed...........
............... it might be the fastest production motorcycle too, given that its torque is spread all over the range, topped with 197 bhp.

If you try to get a gist of my text, you will know that I have no problem with it being 197 bhp. Which basically means that WE both agree. Visordown's title "Only 197 bhp" was based at people who were expecting 220-240 bhp from it.

I always knew that with a 4mm longer stroke, 220 bhp is not expectable. But I expected the claimed Supercharger to do it, but it is absent from Official specs...
