Happiness is a race-spec 800ss

Or perhaps a 1000ss

Absolutely lovely!

Can't wait to hear the first track reports on her performance :D

Oh they ain't mine dude but, it gives you some idea of what my 800 will look like when it's finished cos I am getting one of them zorsts. Mine's better in fact cos it has the deep-brace ally swinging arm on it, fully adjustable Showas, full-floating cast-iron Brembos and some other trickery to do with very lightweight components.

OOOOH-I like-Butch and I had discussions on something similar at Easter in Almeria. Mind you we were talking 1080cc twin sparks-perhaps it was the beer talking.............

If Thunderbikes takes off then a 1000ss motor might be going in the chassis. :bouncy: Even then with a 4lb/bhp limit I am not sure that will be needed.

1080cc overbore on a 1000ss will not be necessary imo - the best SV's are chucking out 84bhp atm. I've got my 800ss up to a tad under 80 with very little effort - 85 should be in reach with a full system and some other tweaks. If a 1000ss responds in the same way then I should think 95-100bhp is easily attainable without actually having to do anything significant.

We shall see. I am doing some track testing next month...hopefully.
