748 what classes

[41jason41]

So if you were racing in ultra-light would the 800ss be the bike to have? or would say an sv be better?

Purely from a machine standpoint I'd say the 800SS will be more competive in ULW & LW classes than the 748 will be in middleweight on up.  The SV is not ULW legal...yet...

depends on many things. From my perspective given a low budget to race, the SV would be the way to go. Villa (the #1 plate holder in Florida) on a 800 at Homestead runs equivalent to DeSouza on his SV650. Keep in mind that Villa was two weeks out of the hospital after being badly burnt.

The more I look into it the 800ss seems like the better option. I ride a 06 R6 right now so the 748 would only see duty in the thunder bike classes. I raced against Villa back in 06 he was fast then so he's prolly really cooking now. THnx all.
