In all seriousness the big improvement when fitting a full monty ivans kit is the massive jump in mid range power.Its not really doing much for top speed as such. But the midrange boost means top gear acceleration is stunning from as little as 5000 revs, and it pulls very well from 4000. On normal riding it does become a top gear machine.It changes the character of the engine, making it more quick to rev, much more like the original R1 engine. It wont be as demon as that engine cos the fazer flywheel is heavier, but on the dyno, bhp outputs are very similar.
