Let me edit this now and save all the whinning: all new high performance machines are capped out in the 70's.
just my .02¢
I'll wonder all day why I replied to a thread like this. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

I dropped a tooth on my front sprocket to gain low end. It hurt my top speed but, I could care less. If you are worrying about top speed, you either drag, don't have a quad or are too young to realize top speed is not everything.
Have a nice day.

The CR is faster for the same reasons a Dodge Viper with the V10 is faster than a Dodge truck with the V10.
There are variables that you have to consider. The weight of the bike, there is less rolling resistance with 2 narrow wheels as opposed to 4. Most importantly, the gearing and wheel circumference is different.
I am sure there are other factors but, these are the most obvious ones to me. Top speed is not real important. How quickly you can achieve a certain speed is more important. That is true in most forms of racing.
