Mine's restricted and in some gears it'll almost (maybe it will I've not tried) redline, it just hasn't got any real useable power after 8k. Probably restricted, last time I was on the track it's only hit a ton, indicated

LOL. Even restricted on the right road you can do car's. I kept with a few nice cars on mine...

Admittedly the fastest car I kept up with on my SV down my local fun road (bypass with LOTS of roundabouts) I was de restricted and it was a Ferrari I was following. Ha ha, I caught him through the corners and out of them but about about 80(kph... of course) he started to pull away slightly ha ha.

I was on there yesterday actually and was teasing a car a bit and was just about to race when I got a massive waft of weed and had a look at the passenger. Obviously ****ed so didn't want to risk getting gp kiled. I've been knocked off by a stoner before - learnt my lesson.

The beamer had caught up with me about 70-75(kph) and as we got round the corner my lane of the track was completely blocked so I aborted.
