Bombsquad Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Fuckin love these things!! allways wanted one but they are bastards to get stunt parts for and the frames dont like to much abuse. One of the best looking bikes ever though imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
governorsam Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 second time its been down, same side too. aquaplaned off the end of the straight at ruapuna in horrendous rain. they actually bounce well. my 43 yr old frame not so well. but yes, awesome bikes. everything you have heard about them is true.

KIRK Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I wish I had one of these. my friend did like 11.something on a 96 or so gsxr750. you should be capable of similar time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Iv'e always liked these. Known a couple of people with them. Though they seem very fussy with rider height, theres only a couple of inch window where you can reach the ground but get comfortable/see the instruments without having to look through the screen. Glad to hear you've got it sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
