I totally agree with much of what you say. Carwow are making a killing and it would be nice if they got their act together and laid out decent timing equipment. They seem to be car biased and didn't want to give me another chance on the roll race after they dummied me. Facilities for doing stuff like this is extremely limited in the UK. We have just one drag strip in the whole country (you guys don't know your borne). The facility we went to don't want it publicised and its not cheap (I couldn't afford it) plus all insurances and medics have to be present. The remit for my bike is' The bike Suzuki should have made' and I think we got that right. As for the H2 it would have to be an H2R to even get close, a tuned H2R would be a close run thing, but on stock wheel base I think I would still have him with the same weight rider.
If the weathers good we will be at Santa Pod on the 15th with a jockey on board. But remember we still have proper front and rear brakes, no air shifter and a stock clutch and we won't be running E85. Chris Moores bike is awesome but its not a road bike. He's portraying it as the fastest stock wheelbase bike which it probably is, no problem with that. Like I say mine is what Suzuki should have built. Incidentally the engine has only been down once in all the road, race, test work we have done. I had to pull it out as I heard a light tapping noise from the top end and it was as I thought, a shim had jumped out, so you guys know that was with an 11,500 rev limit valve float is close with gen 2 cams and stock springs. Also Gen 3 valve springs are in fact about 20% stronger than gen 2 Springs. So you would think there would be a bigger margin of safety. Then again it could be the number of times the rev-limiter has been hit, this thing charges so hard to the redline. We have more video's coming up, some will like some won't but enjoy anyway
