Road Racing Hill Climb - NZ National Championship

[Sully60]

Just have a better Idea of how fast stock and modified SV650's are.
Add corners and I'd be struggling to keep up with an ol' fulla on a katana.
Go on.
You know you want to.

Your speed at the sprints: 212 km/h
Mine 209 km/h

Corners on the Cliffhanger that need the extra "grunt" of a twin 1 or maybe 2.

Should be interesting young man, I just have to get mine to run properly!
Number Ones bike might be a bit slow that weekend!

Going up Deanno's hill I suspect the SV would be overall a stronger package with its broader range of power delivery. Of course Drew knows all about this now riding his 749R aye.

I cant tell if you're taking the piss out of me or not here bro, I'll assume the best though.

I reckon it's the extra traction on corner exit that gives the twin an edge.

I totally agree with this but I don't think exit traction will be a problem for an SV on that hill.
Unless you use plastic tyres

No - Def no piss taking mate, just a pragmatic view as ever from re engine delivery.

Sorry girl, did you not realise you are on the slow bike of the two?

Actually now that he has ridden it I can say (cos he said) that I am on the faster of the two bikes...it just goes slower with me on it!
...and NO when I bought it I never signed any agreement with hubby that it would turn into a supplier of race parts for HIS bike!

It was an unspoken agreement, totally, and utterly unspoken...by him.

Given my penchant for administrative accuracy I'd say unless he filed his paaaaypper correctly...it never happened and or doesn't count

Soooo is it pre - entry or pay on the day?

[Deano]

im from the masterton,this is a wicked hill to ride,the more people the better.
im riding my sv650 pro-twin,im challenging any pro-twin boys that come for top step.....

Looks like its time to start the trash talk.

I'm bringing my SV pro-twin Skida (number 5, Mark ?) and had plans on that top podium spot in F3 - although Sully60 will be one to watch and if GW is entering his SV in that class then, well......we might as well go home.

I'm also thinking of bringing the Repsol again to defend my F1 support title.

I'll check how many entries so far.

I believe that there will be a limit of 45 in total.

Entries on the day are accepted but only if there are places available.

Top speed is one thing but make it up hill and power is suddenly more of a factor than a good fairing and crouch!
Mine (Stock and 400cc) Did 12.99 standing.
A stock SV is at least a second faster.

That, I think, is whats going to matter on the hill.

Young Drew (not Mr Champ) did 214 on his (2nd gen) at one of the sprints. A Full fairing would probably help alot more too.


I reckon the SV's will piss on any 400s that show.
F3 modded 450's may be a different story?!


P.S. That doesn't mean I'm not going to give it all I got!
