Does anyone have actual performance figures for a factory with uprated sprockets?

oakleyspatz · Sep 4, 2012

I have uprated sprockets on my Factory (15t front 42t rear) and it certainly feels pretty impressive on acceleration but has any magazine or any member actually recorded standing quarter / standing mile / 0-150mph times with these sprockets fitted compared to the standard bike?
I only ask as I'm curious as to how it compares to the performance of todays bikes such as the KTM RC8-R for example??

a thought.. no point comparing it to book figures, there could be way to much variance in the conditions..
any real world figure should only be compared to another similar real world figure..
best thing would be to get to santapod on a run what you brung day... but then its more rider vs rider than bike v bike.

No times but you can see how the gearing and speeds are affected on www.gearingcommander.com

RC8 will spank the RSV. ~ 150BHP and 88 Ft-lbs of torque with that extra 200cc's.

i doubt "spank" but there would certainly be games afoot!

i watched a buddy of mine waste a new fireblade utterly at santapod on an 04!

its all in the wrist guys!

Now i'm no Casey Stoner, real world riding and makers figures to different things, vid at Snett a few weeks ago taken from the front of my 09 RSV1000R Factory, check out 11 mins 25 secs in, RSV4 behind a RC8. Oh, and my old plodder with db killers in as well, behind the 2 of them :devious http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzT5mCpa7jI&feature=plcp
