My R1 is not quite stock. But it is still fairly mild, IMO. The 12R is stock except for an Akro. The power different is not that much. The weight difference is pretty big.
I haven't run against Busas. I only know one guy with one, he only races on the track - and not the 1/4 mile.

You seem to think that the 12R is the "end-all" of bikes. There is always someone faster. Most of the time, the bike does not decide the race.
