If you really want simple and cheap/cheerful then an 893 engine is the way to go!

and here is a link to the model years on wikipedia! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Fireblade

limited to the 893 and POSSIBLEY (not sure) the early 919. If I understand what I have read here correctly it must be pre 1995 to not need a cat.

Maybe I read wrong, but I'm sure someone will be along soon to correct me

It's deff pre 95 for cars so i expect it's the same for bike power.

893 for no cat test, 3,8 diff on 15's will give about 110 ish top end speed but will get there in a bit of a hurry and 0- 60 in aprox 4 secs.
3.62 diff on 15's will push speed up to 125 ish and from experience doesn't affect acceleration noticeably







A pint for the gent and a white wine/fruit based drink for the lady. Those are the rules
