Cafe Racer About To Hit The Market

So......high 60's with very reliable setup. Forgive my ignorance, but a 525sc (or larger) will yield a few more mph top end? And with that, suffer much on reliability, not to mention the added expenses: fuel, insurance, maintenance. Again, just asking. If midrange power (power band), time to get to top end, and general badassery is the difference, then it makes some sense.

Might even be able to swap cams without removing mills. Nice!

I had 525SC's in my gun. They were warmed a little but it's run 75 with 3A's. And yes, the mid range (boost assist) will be quicker than the 496s but who cares? Those 496's are turn key.
