Well at 105 it's not running into the limiter....it's just out of POWER. I honestly think it would be SLOWER with a larger front sprocket, but not certain. I think (with my big ass on it) it's reaching its aerodynamic/power threshold at 105 but I COULD be wrong.

At anything over 105 I’d need a steering damper anyway….any ideas on one of those for a motard Clay?

I dunno…I may throw $1500-$2000 at it in the spring for a 747 kit and a pair of flatsides to give me that power from 80-whatever but that’s a lot of cabbage

Hmmm, I guess the torque curve of the engine will make the difference. It's not a sportbike that would rev out to high RPMs. I've never tuned a big single like that so I have no idea. Couldn't hurt to spen 20 bucks on a front sprocket and give 'er a try though.

Personally, I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a bike that was never meant for the track. Instead, sell it and get an already built SV or something like that, even a dedicated 'tard if you love that style.

I still may look at going to the MGKT race Dec 5-6. Just depends I guess.

I DO love this style bike...it's friggin insane. But for city hooligans and tuggles gap riding.

With Brian's death I've kind of sworn off the tuggles gap, and the city hooligans isn't any fun without a partner in crime (again Brian)

I'd responded to a thread on Wera with JUST a picture of the motard to a guy in MD with 2 track GSXR 600's with bill of sale only (insurance total loss bikes) and now he's interested......not sure at all if I'll pursue that because track-only means that I'd HAVE to travel to ride it, test it, tune it....etc.
