Read that one a second time!
Think Berlin's right too, confidence in the bike makes a massive difference. When I went out of my comfort zone from a restricted sv to a full power sv I was notably loads slower took a good few weeks to learn the full power sv enough to tan it. I'm not saying I'm a fast rider, but just that I got faster as I got comfortable with the stupidly naive notion that 'the sv's not powerful enough to bite me' it almost definitely will at some point but until then
There's always going to be someone faster it's really not worth trying to be competitive.
