I was recently planning on doing just what i suggested and it was looking at costing me about a grand as i was going to do most of the stripping myself and then just leave the reassmebly to those that know how seen as the engine was going to go in a highyl stressed race bike

Yep, agree with all that... Well, nearly
If you've got the cases split for other work then balancing the crank etc makes total sense... But on the SV boring it out's not all
that invasive, so it's still a lot of extra work to go further.
Put it another way, it's hard enough to justify the parts and labour expense on doign the 700cc boreout on a road SV even if you can do it cheaply
Then, what makes sense for a race bike and road bike isn't always the same of course. If that extra bit of work makes the difference between third and a win I suppose every penny was worth it.
