Island Classic news

I can't see the videos or open the link...But I was talking today to the owner of the bike which won the class last year. I had a fairly big finger in it...It was built for NZ circuits, a big GSX1100, so was set up for midrange. He noted it was actually well down on top speed to some of the Aussie bikes and was talking bigger cams. I told him to simply retime the cams. They have a spare day before the meeting so we'll see how it goes...
I would imagine that a GSX1000 S crank is from the 1000cc version of the Katana which was done to provide a legal base engine for AMA racing.
185hp is actually down a bit from what the top team claimed a couple of years back. They were sticking up Dyno charts showing around 200hp - and using an engine a day per bike....came with several pallets of engines I was told.

Had an email from my mate Steve - GSX1100 owner as mentioned above. He's got Dean Oughtred on the bike at PI this year.
They'd run it in practise as it was last year to give Dean some time on it. It was same as before - a bit flat up top.
A guy from a couple of pits down came and got interested - apparently he'd owned Megacycle...
He redialled the cams to 110/113 LC's, leaned it out a bit and bumped the advance up 4 degrees.
It won a race...
They're sharing a pit garage with Classic Suzuki GB team - which they're beating. Their bike Steve describes as Wank Factor 9 wheras his struggles to reach Wank Factor 2. He finds it hard to keep a straight face.
I'm loving it.
