Pete, I can't stop looking at this bike, it's fascinating to me.
I have a LASER 1.00 coming in a few days, it's a little longer stroked than a Saito 1.00.
LASER bore==27.7 Stroke==26.9
Saito bore==29.0 Stroke==26.0
I'll certainly compare them, although it will be difficult to determine what factors make them perform differently.
