Well so far my 05 injected bike bored to 700cc with lightened and balanced crank etc has managed a whole season of racing - 8x4 races = 34 of round 10 laps, 8 Test days and 2 long european trackdays and one uk trackday. Its had its oil changed once every third use, warmed up before use and had the valve clearances checked once - one was tight.

No piston slap, rattles, or oil useage.

Its banged off the rev limter and ridden within an inch of its life.

So far so good..its good to see the yanks arent always right after numerous people told me it would eat itself !!!.

One more Spanish Trip next weekend then all will come apart to see what it looks like internally.

Then big forced airbox, injectors and whole new ECU and electronics to come...

So if you want to go big bore..go for it. Of course nothing is ever proven not to go wrong but hell it isnt as bad as people make out!.....and IS LOTS OF FUN!!!!

But then, you've stayed 'sensible' with the big-bore - 700cc from 650cc isn't gonna put that much extra strain on the engine.

Personally I can't see the point of a big-bore - if you want more horses buy a bigger capacity bike !!
Because it won't be an SV? Just a guess like


Er, James - I know I haven't been to The Barge in a while, but have you forgotten what I ride ?

CLUE : . . . p, q, r, S, t, u, V, w, x . . .

And the engine size is what ? (I'm not giving a clue on this 1000 'cos there's only 2 to choose from :P )
