MY 1st gen Sv -650 makes 68 HP to the rear wheel, as Suzuki claims for a stock bike.

(I'll own up to feeling generous...if I'm making 70 hp I'd be suprised)

My stock motor 1st gen made 68.5hp with a pipe and a jet kit on pump gas.

You are all right about the 1st gen and the power it makes. I have seen through friends bikes making 72 breathing through stock carbs and yes the cam swap that is illegal for SS but no-one knows anyway. The 80hp 1st gen I speak of is the Ultralight SB spec with high comp pistons and flatslides. I don't what else is done. I've also seen that said 1st gen SS with ram air ducting and it was deemed legal for SS. I am sure curious if it is. I never complained about it or tore him down although I suspected it may not have been legal. I figured he needed more motor because he was a bigger guy than me and it would even things out.

I also do know that U4(at the time) was good for another 2hp. I am not sure about the U4.2.

In LW if you want the fastest bike that is stock and can win races and is under the 1200cc air cooled rules why dont more people get the BMW R1200S. For 15K you can be very fast.I barely and that is barely! !! got enough money just to make it to the races,if i had some that would be my next bike. In UL the rules are OK.In 600's if you had a 600 from the 1990's like a 1996 zx6r,how could i race that since it would be very slow compare to today's bikes.I guess the older bikes are only good just for fun at a track day,like my 1988 fzr400.

I hate to say this...or bring up the whipping of yet another dead horse, but the ONLY way we will all ever STFU and race is to institute power to weight ratios in the classes.Screwit- you race a liter class bike, and wanna race ULW? Fine, but your ass better weigh 500 pounds.

This post is interesting to me, as I am likely buying an SV for the 2011 season next week.

Just a question, (and sorry for the hijack) but how many people are running SB's in SS in the LW ranks?  I hear there's tons of it going on- is this true????

See, this brings up the class we'd really like to see CCS run, but for some reason Kevin won't take us seriously.

Formula Fatty. Choose a class of bike, probably LW, since you can get an SV fairly cheap, and then require a weight limit of 350lbs...  For the rider. 

If you cannot weigh in at 350, you are allowed to add another rider. This eliminates Ed Key completely, because unless his co-rider is Bill Casper, there's no way he can find a heavy enough co-rider. I mean Ed weighs like 90 lbs soaking wet. This eliminates any potential fast skinny little brats as well. Level playing field, my friends.

So let's all petition for Formula Fatty in 2011, the ultimate racing series.

Admitting it 0%
Actuality, well........... just watch and you'll see!
Heck, some have even tried to run slicks in SS

What do you consider SB? Airbox removal? Ram air? Flaslides?
