"Anything more than this is probably a waste of time and money. Serious engine modifications are almost pointless and there's no greater demonstration of this fact than the 2010 Isle of Mann SUPERSTOCK 1000cc (170hp) lap record when compared to the 1000cc SUPERBIKE (220 hp) lap record.
For any unfamiliar with the Isle of Mann TT, one lap of the road-race circuit is 37.73 miles, or 60.72 km. If I remember correctly two people died in separate accidents during last year's races. Believe it or not, these fatalities are not actually unusual, this race has killed scores of people over the years, some sections of the track historically have a 100% fatality rate if you crash. It's super-fast road racing, Utube it if you've not seen one of these races before - search for "1000 SuperStock TT 2010".
Here are the current lap records for 1000cc Superstock, and also the Superbike class;
1000 SUPERSTOCK TT 2010 (Ian Hutchinson - 2010 Honda CBR1000RR - Engine is internally 100% stock, airbox mod with air filter and velocity stacks, full-pipe, fuel and ignition remaps, race fuel, non-slick tires(!), race plastic, stock fork tubes with upgraded internals, upgraded shocks and linkages, alternative cogs and chain, stock callipers, stock disks, but with race pads, stainless lines, alternative master cylinder, bigger gas tank, the starter motor and battery is retained)
Average Speed: 130.741 MPH or 210.407 km/h
Lap Record: 17:18.91 Min:Sec
Compare that record to this one;
1000 SENIOR SUPERBIKE TT (John McGuinness on a 2009 Honda CBR1000RR + numerous internal mods and chassis upgrades for about 200 hp - it's basically BSB Superbike spec)
Average speed: 131.578 MPH or 211.754 km/h
Lap Record: 17:12.30 Min:Sec
1.3 km/h and only 6.6 sec of improvements, over a distance of 60.72 km! ... not to mention the cost difference of about $80k."
