And less torque every time the HP increases. I understand all the racing regulations and CC classes, but it would be nice to actually keep or increase torque, while the HP goes up. Broadening torque is what was badly needed on this bike, so that's a plus.

Where have you seen that? I've had my 899 and V4 baseline dynod before mods and both were very well in line with the factory numbers. German brands tend to be a bit conservative with numbers so I'd imagine this bike is over the claimed 209. My last three cars 2 Audis and a BMW all dynod higher than advertised. (all numbers corrected for crank hp and the type of dyno factored in, obviously)

HP4 Race will win for sure since it's way lighter and track-only, but I'm wondering what the margin is as far as lap times and fun factor. BMW really needs something street-legal in the middle here I think. An M1RR (or something like that since they'er ditching the HP nomenclature) with more ponies and more exclusive materials / components would be awesome.

What most people are missing is what can be a really serious problem with 2019 S1000RR. It is front geometry of the bike. Trail - 93.9mm and forks angle 23.1 degrees. This is very wrong for anyone who plans to use it for racing or "inspired" road riding. These numbers will give you very unstable bike which handles great at low speed, but will be very unstable at high speed. Prone to tank slappers and etc. Proper front geometry for fast bike like this lays somewhere around 100 to 110mm trail and 25 to 26 degrees of fork angle. In my opinion this may be the major problem with new S1000RR.
