Yes to 300hp.
There will be few opportunities to use it but when you can - wahay!

No, not interested anymore. I've had powerful bikes and found them to be boring on the road. Cruising along you're nowhere near peak torque so throttle response is poor. To be anywhere near peak torque means you're going very fast, which is more frightening than fun IMO. I want to be able to thrash the engine without risking going into orbit!

100bhp is more than enough for me. I don't place any limit on torque though. I'm looking for a buell S1 at the moment smile
The beauty of the SC is it should deliver far more torque through the rev range, so though you won't be at peak torque there will still be plenty.

Its worth reading Kevin Cameron's article

It seems the SC will operate at 2 speeds for two rev ranges.
