Just got an 888 SP4, a few questions for the forum

Mr.R

Up against race spec RC30's I think even a rider with Barton's undoubted talent would need a bit more than 110 rwbhp.

That may be so but I have invested heavily in Weightwatchers goodies to make HIM more competitive! I thought that would be easier than trying to train a horse jockey to ride fast.😁

Mr.R

Ah go on Tony admit it you really are Lester Piggot one time favourite jockey of the Queen/Queen Mum 😝
He was a beanpole who weighed next to F'ck all, funny how he fell from grace after being caught for tax evasion??
Normally they just move to the Isle of Man. 😏
Are you and Sarah up for a curry in Port St Mary one night in race week?
I think it was the one special treat meal (apart from Manx Queenies) that I missed last year as I rarely eat out at home, Steve B's up for a night out/meal.

The only two times my old nail has come home on a recovery trailer is after a puncture and when it snapped the chain. ** Spent more money on tuning and rebuilding (in the plural!) his SP(4)S motor than my bike cost to buy in the 1st place. He is a top bloke though who's been after riding one of my bikes for years now, but when I asked if he'd got anything I'd like to ride? He offered his JHP tuned 926cc SPS, I innocently asked... "Haven't you got anything better than that?" Steve R

Oh,I thought it was a standard SPS.

I never did understand where they got there figures! Weird.

Mr.R

A mate of mine owns a SP2 which he claims is the most powerful 851/888cc SP made, because he read it in a mag' once.
His has never been anywhere near a dyno. 😏

Since the SP2,3 and 4's all have the same spec motors, exhausts apart from the SP2 having lower level cans, the only difference in power output must be down to the injector flow rates and the OEM chips.
SP(4)S and the SP5's also have the same (but higher than the other SP's) spec motors...
1/4 mile times are more about the rider and the gearing the bikes running.

Howdo!!!

Good read just for the friendly banter!! As for power Mr.R your gonna need a lot more than that to push your spinnaker leathers through the air!!! Unless you've been eating carbon fibre pies!!!!
Either way wouldn't keep up with a Superlight 😝
