sv1000sf or fz6 naked?

looking at the specs the FZ6-S2 should have better low down power than the bandit650 and pulls a couple more NM and a few more horses with it and it doesnt have to drag and extra 20kg along the way

FZ6-S2
96.55 HP (70.5 kW))
63.10 Nm (6.4 kgf-m or 46.5 ft.lbs) @ 6440 RPM

SV650
72 hp (53 kW)/ 9,000 rpm, 84 Nm/ 7,200 rpm. <--- Is It really 84nm?? as the sv650 k3 is 61nm same as the curvey SV

BANDIT 650
84.00 HP (62.5 kW)) @ 10100 RPM 61.5NM @ 8900 rpm


does anyone know any specs of the FZ6-S1 did they remap or tweek the power delivery ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_FZ6

57 kW (77 PS) (76HP) @ 11500 RPM for Standard version,
72 kW (98 PS) (97HP) @ 12,000 RPM for S2 version.

51.7 N·m (38.1 lbf·ft) @ 10000 RPM for Standard version,
63.1 N·m (46.5 lbf·ft) @ 10,000 RPM for S2 version

hmm see there is a dif between the 2. what was your 1 skippy could imagine the standard quite mellow

All 2004-2006 models have the stronger version, i.e. 97bhp (as does mine), only S2 comes in 2 variants, depending on the country they were sold in. Apparently the "weaker" version actually felt better midrange but was missing the top-end rush...
Getting rid of the catalyser on mine has definitely freed up some midrange power. You can get a link pipe for 50-60 quid on fleabay. I've never dyno'ed mine but apparently it gives you around 3-5bhp gain...
I have to admit that when I rode mine today for the first time in 5 months it didn't feel underpowered at all You sure you don't fancy buying mine ?

dont like red bikes :P there unlucky can you remove cat onthem without buying new cans then?

yes you can; it'll still sound crap but will definitely go a bit better

whats the cheapest cans for em ?

whatever you find on ebay really... The cheapest new ones I think are Leovince aluminium cans I think for about £350. I have a quad-pipe Lazer extreme which is around £700 new which I got for £250 second hand. Mine will be up for grabs soon as I'll be selling my Fazer with the original one on.
