Brian, I am not going to say anything about the big difference of torque nor how much advantage that would translate to on the track, and that most SV650s I raced with is far beyond the stock rating (for example, http://www.racemotorcycles.com/cgi-bin/board/YaBB.pl?board=ccsclass;action=display;num=1098212492), nor how at some particular tracks that additional HP/torque beyond a certain amount doesn't really help lap time because I know you are fully aware of them (hence why many race 600 or 750 against 1000 in some track and/or in endurance race; of course, 600/750 handles slightly better too).    ::)

As I said before, I am going to just leave this discussion and admit that it's all me being slow, and will let my improvement speak for itself next year.   ;)

Quoteanother example.  i did a lot of trackdays on my totally stock '00 zx9r....my times on my '02 gsxr600 track bike were almost identical.  talk about a difference in bikes and power!!!

Just realized who started this thread. :) Hey Brian!

Hey, was that you on the black 9 last year at Grattan and Gingerman. That was about the fastest I've seen a 9 go. :)

Sorry I missed Gingerman. The calendar is almost ready.

is this the famed jack beaudry?!?!  photographer-extraordinaire?!?!? who's glorious work is at sliderphoto.com ? (shameless plug for ya).  you sure get around.

yup.  that was me abusing the crap outta the 9r (it was actually dark purple, but it did look black).  i think i got it into the low 1'27s but that was asking alot from a heavy bike, stock suspension, and street tires (208zr)....its just not competitive yaknow and i think i would have much better results....hey sunny! get off my keyboard...!

seriously though, looking forward to the calendar.
what if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?

i'm sorry, sunny.  did you just say that its the rider that is the problem and that you are going to drop it?

i get so confused cause you said that right after you said it is the torque that's the problem and after you didn't drop it.

Funny, I didn't put it together until you mentioned running a 9. Now it makes sense. I don't know names and faces, bikes are another matter. :)
