There's a crappy video of my first start up HERE At that stage it was just running on the
headers (and the smoke is from the exhaust wrap!). The RSV is a 60 deg v twin and is still a squeeze in my Aries Locoblade chassis. I think you would
struggle with something like a Suzie TL (unless you went for one of the slightly wider kits of course).

Personally i'd say dont do it - not in a se7en sized car. Gearboxes and clutches will be more fragile and seems pointless really when you will
save nothing over fitting a 900cc + engine.

you forgot the ZZR1400 and VMax!!
Seiously though - i'd say R1, Fireblade, ZX9R or ZX10R of the newer engines that will need a cat for SVA, or CBR1000, ZX10, GSXR1100 of the
older engines.
Or of course you can go for the Aprillia RSV - dry sumped as standard too!!!

Had no idea about the 1400 and vmax. Was just thinking of the most powerful ones I know. Isn't the Busa restricted to 220mph because of the
engine noise? Tis something I heard about...
