150bhp is
way too much. My 800ss road bike has bang on 80 rwbhp and it's brilliant on the road. I have little self-control and the 800 never feels slow or breathless even against litre 4's when I'm on it...I'd just get myself into lots of trouble or will kill myself with more than that.
With the money I'd spend on a 1098 I could buy a titanium frame for the 8 (light as fug), lots of trick bits and still have wads left over. Hmmmm.......
Bring back 2-valvers SS bikes (not these retro things they have atm) - the air-coled 2-vlv motor is a superb road engine.
2 valves are all you need-old skool is best
