I see that in the lightweight practice, Hillier was clocked at over 146mph through Sulby speed trap. 146mph on a fucken 650 twin! Christ almighty.

OMG...talk about deja vu...just paint it pink while you're at it....kawa twin in a VFR frame...LOL...repeatedly.
Seriously, the hardest part to accomodate would be the airbox which is ferkin huge. I didn't have a close enough look at GW's bike but I suspect the frame is built around the standard airbox.
The 500 Kawas were doing around 140mph here in NZ back in the day.
wish a new who built my zxr400 l was told it was clocked at 150mph but have know idea who built it . it does have the full race kit in it and did run on some good stuff ones
First season was on Methanol/Toluene - the frame had to be strengthened before it could handle the 10hp or so extra on Nitro.
i rode it in practise for the GP and being a little (cough) heavier than Tony I could make it flex noticeably.....
My own one with Mark Taylor riding and on Meth/Tol was geared for 140 plus MPH on Wigram and was running into the rev limiter...
i still think that of the 3 "suitable" 650 twins the Kawa has the most potential.
