The 180 HP rating comes from forced air induction that kicks in at higher speeds.
Anyway man, buy the bike that you like. Get on them and sit. Look at them. Fuk everything else. If you are worried about 5 HP or .01 seconds on the track then you must be a professional racer, so just have your sponsors buy you one of each.
Like I said, I have an 04' R1 and it's un-godly fast. I raced a modified 01 Busa and got him by about 15 feet in the 1/4. I will admit that the guy weighed more than me, but he also had his bike lower, stretched, and remapped. Dunno bro, I love the R1 but I think it would be hard to go wrong with any of them
