    Sometime road use! Yes. 80% of the time on the road . No.
    The GSXR1000 isn't a highly stressed engine and if it's blueprinted and
    balanced it should be in excellent condition. 160BHP is quite a mild
    state of tune and virtually achievable just with the PC, Yoshi and
    filter. So I suspect the blueprinting was done for reliability as much
    as it was for power.

    It's an excellent specification, the forks are probably worth over a
    grand in total you're looking at around two and a half thousand pounds
    worth of goodies. Just make sure you've got the standard stuff as well.
    A lot of racers flog off the standard kit to help fund the racing.

    I'm actually looking at this type of spec myself for next season.

    I just saw your post and wondered WTF, he's lost it, then I read my post
    and thought. I'm going to *regret* that.

    I'm inclined to agree with you on this. I know my GSX very well now and
    no matter how super quick the new bikes are I'll still be quicker on
    mine. However, if I'm offered a go with no strings attached I probably
    will but I can't see them doing that. They think I abuse bikes. No, they
    know I abuse bikes.

    Curses.. just when I had a bike that could keep up on the Tingewick
    Bypass...

    Is it a K2 or K3? :)

    Eh? Top end of my 750 was greater than your 600? Unless you meant me
    walking :)
    Neither, K1 on an 02 plate.

    dwb Guest

    Yes, but I think the K series 600 wouldn't lose too much ground until you
    were talking seriously silly speeds.

    The SV obviously doesn't feature [1] :)

    Heh. Ben gave me a free lesson on the Tingewick bypass ... I came off
    the roundabout on the B12, with Judge on his (then) ZZR1100 just in
    front and to my left. I saw Judge crouch and slap the throttle open,
    so I did the same (as ye do) and we roared off up the bypass. Three
    redlines and a goodly bit of front tyre skimming the tarmac, it was
    still close and we were approaching 130 - he was a couple of bike
    lengths in front when there was a blur and a scream as that Brummie
    **** went hurtling between us at about 150.

    Then a car in front pulled into the outside lane ... my, how I laughed
    ;-)

    That'll be because we're not victimising Ben, presumably.

    Heh, I'm not victimising Des. Do I give that impression, as it's not
    big and it ain't funny (or summat like that).

    'sides, I think people will see in a while, if Ben does have a GSXR or
    not.

    The word "victimising" leaves me with feeling that the recipient is
    somehow undeserving of the attacks, innocent even.

    Is there a better word that could be used instead?

    Ben Guest

    Aye, above 140 most likely. Although the roll-on from 50-100 would be
    better on the 750 due to it's greater torque. You're right though,
    not much in it.

    Are you still considering a 750? The K4 looks like a blinding bike.
