I've not had a run against one of those Ozzy 450s yet but i've had a real good run with one of the SV650 pro-twin guys and the 300 is a perfect match in a straight line. Jason Easton on that Tigcraft SVX550 was pulling high 1:13s at Manfeild... To my 1:21s - but that's got far more to do with his riding than any differences in machine performance.
My engine is not optimised and no doubt if someone running the same spec put the effort into tuning it up like Neal has with his 300, then there's no doubt it'd have the measure of those SV Suzukis and with the right riding (which ofcourse is by far the biggest factor), would be running at the front in F3.
