    Stock trim:
    Displacement: 487 cc
    Engine Redline: 11,000 rpm
    Horsepower: 1989–1996 52 hp (38 kW) @ 9200 rpm.
    Torque: 1989–1996 30.4 ft·lbf (41.2 N·m) @ 7500 rpm.

    to be a proper 500cc, you use the factory Suzuki 1mm oversize piston if rebuilding the motor. Use Kawasaki GPZ 83/84 overbore pistons and make a 555cc

    I haven't dynoed the bike after putting the fillter and pipe on. It's jetted of course with shims under the needles so it doesn't have a huge flatspot mid-powerband. so power is subject to change + or -

    0-60 times, I don't know. quick enough for me. My objective was brakes and good handling.

      I wasn't looking for massive numbers, I was looking for something tame enough for a first rider. I really like it.

        This is definitely quick enough to keep up with an STi up to about 95mph lol. After that, because it's fairingless, it's a bit dodgy with wind gusts.

        I topped out at 112mph, and I was nervous. I usually stick to corners/slower speeds on country roads. I love this bike...it feels like a large bike because of tires, gotta lean a bit more but it is so nimble and that rear shock is set up so sweet.


        The bike will be at the shop in the next couple days, anyone interested in seeing it, lmk so i can try to coordinate with my buddy.

          I would love the bike, it is exactly what I am looking for, but I think you are way to far away.
