It does not seem to have any advantage over my 2005. Well, not exactly; 2007 had carbs & used a CDI igniter, not ECU controlled like EFI. The carb model igniter won't run with EFI, and an EFI bike won't run with the electronic igniter from a carb bike.

Better than the 05 05 speedmaster - 1100cc, 11:1 racing pistons, Carillo rods, thunderbike cams, ported and polished head, 2mm over intake and exhaust valves, Barnett kevlar clutch, scepter pipes, oversize manifolds, 45mm HSR's, TTP stage 4 firestarter
