I hate unlimited mods classes.  Frankly, I'd rather just race the  
superstock class on SVs, but nobody is there to chase really, unless  
Zoran is handing me my ass on his 500cc bike (they usually grid in the  
same start)

I'm actually curious about that.  The more I learn to ride the SVs the  
more I learn just how tragically short the power band is on these  
things.  Miller full track was 30-something shifts per lap, no  
kidding.  Getting on the GSXR1000 and finding that 4k rpm was as good  
as 10k on the SV made me seriously jealous.  Shift?  Ah, why bother.
