Acceleration lag ???

Acceleration lag ???
So this morning on my way home I was fallowing a guy I work with who rides an SV650 and I want to know is it normal that he could out accelerate me and leave me behind I know I will probably get crap for writing this but it just seems to me that a 996cc bike could at least catch an 650cc bike or am I just dreaming ? My bike runs ok but doesn't seem to get in the real power till after 6 grand by that time he had already left me in the dust. Now I know his bike is fuel injected and mine is not but maybe I'm just wanting more from my S-hawk than it can give me. Please help me solve this problem.

Yeah - they have quite a bit of power for a 650, but with no real weight advantage and a 20-30hp difference there should be no way it's faster.
Like mentioned above, if he caught you in the wrong gear and he was on it hard, sure but heads up, no way.

Here is an easy way to look at your question.
In Irish Road Racing, they have a class called "Super Twins" which is a 650 twin class.
Here is a list of what was done to a 2012 bike:
JHS Racing Supertwin motor:
Carrillo custom rods
Kent cams
CP pistons
JHS Racing valves and valve springs
JHS Racing bespoke exhaust system
JHS Racing carbon air intake
JHS Racing airbox
AIM dash and datalogging sensors
Power Commander V Bespoke JHS power map
NGK Iridium spark plugs
With that, they got 90 BHP at the rear wheel or around 10 BHP less than a stock VTR.

So the answer should be pretty clear......no he should not be able to keep you in sight, let alone ever pull away from you.

Brj, I'm sure there wasn't any bad intentions with that question. The point is that if you are 300+, the Superhawk isn't going to be as quick.

Yeah, the power-to-weight thing Brj.
I didn't say you're fat; I asked how fat. I figure I'm fat enough to ask without causing offense. Couldn't you tell?
I've pissed someone off. My work is done here.
