Not really. They are .1 of a sec difference on paper.

Look, it just winds me up when people go, oo look i have beat a car. So what.

Hey someone winding you up Viney?..............makes a change eh?

SV weighs 180kg ish power output is 65bhp ish. THat gives me 361bhp/tonne pretty close to the porsche. Also 0-60 of a SV is around 4 secs for the naked model so both are close up to 60. should also be easier to put the power down on an SV 650 too. Besides if he pipped me I wouldn't mind too much cause it cost him much much money to beat a bike you can pick up for under 2K and that makes me giggle inside.

Sure it was a black one? Otherwise it might have been me. Thats my daily route into work you see and i regularly shoot away from the traffic at Hendon. Mainly beacuse most of the drivers around their are idiots and i just wanna be ahead of them all over the Bent Dross flyover (and its nice to do a ton over it too!)

I cant believe that they have turned that damn scamera on the southbound bit back to face the right way again either

Power to wieght of a 996turbo (Water cooled) is around 390bhp per tonne, the sv is about 800 or there abouts. To 100, the SV would be in the weeds

spiderman..... you've let yourself down!!

No it wasn't me, unless the excessive speed led to an apparent colour shift and my bike APPEARED black

Eh, what now?

And the Peter Parker above is not me slowly shifting into virtual schizophrenia either. Must be some dastardly villan out to blacken my name.

Red ones There is one just before the flyover southbound and one a few hundred yards after the flyover. hth
