Stupid quote from the article:

There was a time when 100 horsepower in a motorcycle was cause for governmental intervention, yet the 2010 BMW S 1000 RR offers 190 hp @ 13,000 rpm, more power than that of the first-generation BMW M3. It's like packing a 500-hp BMW V10 into a BMW 1 Series.

Hm. At 455lbs and 190hp, the S1000RR carries 2.4lb for every horsepower.
It's more like stuffing a 500hp M5 V10 into a 1200lb Caterham Super 7.
