And more importantly, why would you want to? e: Considering a ZX-6R weighs a hell of a lot less and probably makes the power better anyways. eggyolk fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Aug 10, 2008 |

Same concept as restricted bikes. They do it because I believe France is draconian and doesn't allow bikes over 100hp.

That's true, I read about an R1 presentation at some race track or other where Yamaha even prepared restricted (98hp) R1s for French motorcycle journalists to ride  They said the bike felt literally castrated.

helot posted:Video about helmets: http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/video/video_player.shtml?vid=283819 That was a good video. I like how there was no talk about "freedom to wear what you want." They were all about the FF helmets that properly fit and that being the only thing you should wear. Also, I now know how to pronounce Arai (it's not "airy").

helot posted:Video about helmets: http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/video/video_player.shtml?vid=283819 The post crash GP helmet they show looks like my old RX7RR, that thing fits like a glove. When it came to shopping for helmets the thing that made me choose arai over the other brands was an article I read that showed their test facility. It pointed out that Arai (at the time) is/was the only manufacturer whom uses the same helmet for every stage of testing even though the various testing regimen generally allow for a fresh helmet for each individual test. I figure most serious crashes are a multiple impact ordeal and a helmet that survive the first impact only to go to dust on the second impact didn't really seem like something to leave to chance.

My after work dual sporting ritual: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cPxyXWbTSA If you've never seen a motorcycle almost run over a fish before, well, here ya go. Also before accusations fly I just want to point out that a wide angle lens pointed downward exaggerates the perception of speed when I goose it through first and second on a wide street with no moving cars or people and unrestricted visibility. So, yea.

Here's a 15min Promo for the old Suzuki RE-5. I'm not sure but I just couldn't stop watching; maybe it was the cool oddball bike, maybe it was the funky sound track, or even the almost hypnotic narrator. Part One, two

Bird-o-matic posted:Winter track day report! Late question on this one so hopefully you see it. But what do you think of your R6? I don't care how the R6 handles on public roads just the track as that's the only place I'll take it, I'm lucky I only live about an hour from Philip Island. My old track bike was a 2004 ZX10R which I had for a few years, but I'm thinking of going back to a 600. I don't why but I just seem to enjoy thrashing a 600 more then a 1000.
