How much does a litre bike cost you?

That's what I thought.

Fair enough, suppose few people change the sprocket size anyway. Is there anyway to recalibrate speedos to suit a new sprocket?

Yep, one product is called a "speedo healer"

Been looking into that myself as I might drop a front tooth on the CBR to liven it up a bit (not that it really needs it).

You get a speedo healer which is a little electronic box that adjusts the pulses coming from the sender. Adds a bit of cost but stops your odometer from going up faster than it should.

Good point, I had only considered the effect on the speedo. The odo is more important really.

Factor in the insurance excess and losses made on the obligatory 6000km replacement..................

Yes the thou is 4 times the cc....
But...it's injected..... and he doesnt have to go above 3k to keep up with my 250 ringing the tits off it.

RPM is feck all to do with fuel consumption. If it did then I'd have a bike with a V8 revving at 1200RPM. It just means your bike is running a bit $hit. Probably due more to age and aerodynamics than anything else.
