Whats all this "up to 53bhp" including a 620 and putting 675cc and 583cc bikes together, there are big differences, 620s rev harder and can extract more speed from there gearing, 675's make more low down power than a 583 and can pull slightly higer gearing allowing them to extract more speed.
And if anybody thinks that suspension tweeks can make up for a 10bhp disadvantage at Snetterton they must be on something.

Oh come on Kev. Everyone knows that it's down to rider ability and not power, and what's a measly 10bhp between friends?

I think they must have redesigned Snett too, coz it wasn't 80% turns when I was there.

As for the "Up to 53bhp" thing, my 620 is virtually indentical to Phil's 675 on accelleration and top speed, and his makes 51.5bhp and mine makes 53bhp. Mine hits a limiter at 9,300 and his doesn't.

More power low down???? Low down where?

Mine makes nothing below 7,000 - nothing worth using anyway.

Lord R,

Sorry for the tardy reply but I have been sunning myself in a handy tax haven. Enough of my feeble excuses I shall have a member of staff read me the rules again immediately. I will be in touch directly via PM with some money no object suggestions how to legally improve the performance of your competitive motorcycling device.
I trust you have ruled out the idea of having Mr Toseland hiding in your hospitality marque and then impersonating you in the races?

Ray

PS more power is good, too much is better!
