130 seems really low for a bike. Is it not a sport bike?

I think my best time was a 1:42.3xx. Andy told me he had a 1:40.5, and the #29 S2K had a low 1:41 or so that I saw (maybe faster).

98_1LE,

Very impressive driving!

I was at corner 3 and you rotated your car through the gates with some serious finesse.

650 CC v-twin that is carborated. The new SV's are fuel injected. I am not sure what else you would ask for from a V-twin, but that is pretty damn impressive with my heavy ass anchoring the bike down.

375 lbs bike 70 hp and 44 ftlbs of tq. Are the specs.

CMiS2K - Thanks. It sure didn't feel like finesse inside the car. That thing can be a handful.

I have a YZF600R (although I haven't ridden it in a couple years. It can be yours for REALLY cheap, but you'll have to do some work to get it back to track trim again.) It's a really nice bike - enough power (a bit faster than an SV605S a friend had for a bit), very comfortable (had no trouble with a road trip down to Austin), fully adjustable suspension front and rear (compression, rebound and preload). It was originally designed as Yamaha's premier track/stree bike when it came out so it's still really good at that, but they haven't developed it much since '97 so it's behind the times compared to the modern R6, CBR600RR, etc.
