Kevin,sounds like you're comparing a grudge bike to a class-specific bike with rules to adhere to. Lol nobody really has a grudge turbo Busa cause it wouldnt get any races,it'd be that nasty.
Dark3,your bike sounds setup nicely with the gearing. The problem with that shorter gearing is that(like you are finding out)you run out of
oomph up top prematurely and the other bikes will catch up and pass you on the big end.
Which leads to some fun,if not frustrating bench-racing. "I beat you from 60-160mph" but then the guy you just beat says back, "yeah and then I walked right past you at 160mph and waved bye". The never ending battle makes us all wanna keep modding and one-upping your buddy's
If you have the chance,grab a ride on a well set-up Gen2 with a 1441,head/cams,air shifter and run it through the gears a few times. Chances are you may like it better then a stg1 turbo. I love mine,and I also love my stg1 1000 turbo. Two very different types of power delivery but you can't be sneaky with a turbo,everyone will know what you have. On the flip side,an all motor Gen2 looks like every other Gen2 with bolt-on's. The 24v starter will give it away
if someone who knows big horsepower N/A
Busa's hears you crank the starter. But most are clueless and it's more fun to snipe your riding buddies with a sleeper
I haven't bumped into a SWB bike thats pulled out on my Gen2,it's a bad ass bike. It literally
runs away from 4th Gen 10Rs and any year S1000RR
