Dad had one on a dyno not long ago. Only 6 miles on the clock!!!!!!!!


187bhp @ rear wheel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Feck me, the old one made that at the fly, and still managed 187mph...

Are superbikes becoming TOO Fast for public roads AND racetracks?

Where-else but in america will people ever get that bike to speed. Maybe the first road bike to top 200mph???????


Wait till the bike has a few thousand miles on it, 190+bhp @ rear wheel anyone?
3

Same as... Still not the best looking though imo

Single sided swingarms are the way forwards.

Not so, only good for endurance.

Hence why WSB and MotoGP don't use it. At those levels, double swinging arms work better.

Engines still tight.

Mk2 Golfs didn't start making proper power, and properly run in at about 70,000+

Realistically, you need 5k on an engine to have it run in and freed up properly.

is it a good idea revving the bollocks off a bike with 6 miles on it?

Same principle as a car, if you drive it harder when new, the engine usually makes slightly more power, but probably won't last as many total miles. Give it a nice smooth warm gentle run it, it'll make less power, but run for a much longer.

Not ideal, but not his bike, so why worry. If it goes bang, get MV to send some parts over and rebuild it.

Graeme, Deffo, SSSA look great. Remember Ron Haslams DOUBLE single sided SA on his Elf Honda (pics on request).

Ron Haslam Saw him around the paddock at Cadwell on Monday. That MV is stunning, saw a few of them new KTM RC8's on monday aswell, they look very nice!

RC45, Foggy and Kosinkski, Colin Edwards days?

TBH though dude, Honda plowed MASSIVE amounts of money into those bikes to keep them competitive. Im talking small country budgets I loved those bikes, still considering a VTR SP2 myself.

Oh, i will get my ass to your btw to get those seats. Slap me when you see me.

You've got me on Hondas now...

Ducati was killing everyone in WSB from the early 80's on normal SA's in the 851 and 888. The true original superbikes

Excusse me, i need a wipe up...
