I recognise the name of the driver from somewhere too?
He now owns a company that tries to sell performance upgrades for Aston Martins. (And runs various AM racing teams).

Funny that...

Sorry didn't mean it that way, my recollection is not from AM circles, just a name that has stuck in my mind from something completely different.

There's a long way to go with car engines: my 599cc bike makes 98bhp stock.
Is that all? My 600cc makes 118bhp at the rear wheel.

True. The R1 I had briefly was 207bhp at the rear wheel. Hence why I sold it - it scared me when I opened it up!

I also noticed on the Dyno charts that during the power runs the oil temp never increased above 19'C ???

Must have some bloody good oil cooling on that motor ;-)
