848

Yeah, sound like it's restricted in "C" classes in WERA.  Cost of admission is high.  Will still require someone to ride it.

Im pretty sure Sean said no C supersport though.

[Z-man]

Yeah there is an active post on there now where Sean said he is going to allow it in C superbike.

[Super Dave]

In Supersport trim though, right?  I thought that's what I read.

[ahastings]

yes Dave you read right.

850cc = middleweight

I don't understand how the 848 is a middleweight. It's displaces 40% more than a 600 and makes power comparable to a GSX-R750.

But whatever, we'll get em in the whoops!!

So it claims to make 134hp. In the real world I bet its just under 120 at the rear wheel which is much less than a GXR 750 and only slightly more than a SS legal 636. Considering the price of entry I doubt we'll even see one on the track much less winning anything. I think it'd be a great street bike though. Like my RC but 60 lbs lighter.

You are partially right, had mine on the dyno yesterday and it made 117 hp, for the rest check my signature.....

Sounds very interesting - Presented the right opportunity - I wouldn't mind riding one.... Is the contingency money paid at each and every event or only select events????

Pretty good.  What fuel?  First runs?  I'm betting it's about stock?

I made 115 to 119 with hot fuel at the end of the year on the SV1000.

[ahastings]

stock. The contingency pays every race, but it pays in certs only good for Ducati parts and accessories and labor. When I raced an SV 1000 a couple years ago I recall my straightaway speed being pretty close to an average 600.

[Super Dave]

I couldn't keep up with 600's in a straight line.  Well, the one's that I wanted to.

What fairing did you use on your SV1000?

[ahastings]

I used hotbodies SV fairing back then, but also that was back in 2004 and 2005. I  think the newer 600s were faster and the ones now are even faster.
