The rebound damping is also velocity squared orifice / checkplate type. So the improvement that can be effected to the rear is very substanial.
    Will be talking to you about that all soon

    Pic's suggest that the new bike shares same frame as the old one, so we should be able to work something out huh?

    cagiva raptors are eligable......but they have a sv650 motor so its only the handling package is different,

    thats great pro-twins are gretting support from the brands, it about time kawasaki start taking their er6n into pro-twins, it has been sitting around in limbo while suzuki and the sv650 is becoming the only bikes people use, we wouldnt want the whole class to be only sv650's {even though they are a beautiful machine}

    pro-twins will be the next step for me, affordable, fun, fast racing

    They are being used overseas. A couple of people tried them out here but they seem to have disappeared. Not sure if that was because they didn't got too well or if the people riding them just couldn't afford to race anymore.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    id say a v-twin would be Alot more powerful than in line twin, also they arnt set-up as well as a sv650 or a gt650 because they dont have fairings,clip-on style bars ect......

    but, None of these bikes even compare to chaos riders "MOTOGP 250 TWIN" which puts out close to 40HP and can blow off vrf400's at pukekohe's back straight....

    I think the big let down with the SV is thesee saw affect it has its a great bike but if a manufactor could bring a bike out that handled half pie decent and didnt see saw it would dominate pro twins as pro twins is really about corner speed
