vfr & rvf 400's both sit just on either side of the 160kw/tonne limit with the rvf400 just sitting inside that limit. i don't know the specifics, but it is close, really really close.

There is some mob in Sydders restricting and compliancing used 600's. I saw a GSXR600 with a lams plate on it in Norton St Leichardt late last year. I saw the bloke pull up with L plates on and I took the piss out of him. He soon showed me the plate on his GSXR and I ate humble pie!!! :oops:

It's quite common to do these kinds of mods with bikes in the UK, i've even hurt of a restricted busa ffs.

11th November - 25kW kit available for 2008 Kawasaki ZZR1400. Part Number 03-ZXT40C-K25. RRP £159.95
Is this enough power to keep itself at a high enough speed to stop it from falling over?

I'm thinking it's like putting a 11.5HP ride-on mower engine in a Ferrari...once the handbrake is off and you're in first gear you won't have enough HP to get it into second (but at least you'll look gooood).

Mick :shock:

just because it's technically possible doesn't automatically make it a good idea.

:shock: Its all about the look in Norton St :lol: I guess if you bought the bike and then when your full licence have it de-restricted it may be a good idea. Save on Stamp Duty etc Whats next? Restricting Litre Bikes :roll:
