It looks like a stock monster frame, I think the engine's a 1000DS. The subframe looks like the grab handles, lock mechanism and some extra was cut off and a loop welded to the end. Then I think the tank and seat are one-offs, and the underseat exhaust might be from a hyper? I'll try to look for more on it.



But yeah, totally want to do something like this.

Yeah, looks like F4 tail light lenses, but aside from having underseat exhaust, nothing else looks F4-ish

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

Got my SportBikeCam mounted up to the mighty vfr and did a test run with it. Theres a nasty resonance it has when the engine is around 6k or so but other than that its sweet.

Just a video of twisty road in Omaha with a little wheelie at the beginning.

Aww drat dude. Be safe, work on being smoother on corners before adding the speed in there. There were a few times I thought this was going to be a crash video.

Yeah maybe it's just the camera angle but that look really unsteady at some points. Like massive headshake or something.

Looks like me before I realised I was too tense and putting too much input into the bike instead of letting it do what it wanted to do.

I know you think you thought you knew what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you understood what you thought I meant.
Also looks like a lot of the turns he enters crossed up (look at the reflection and where his head is relative to the bike lean angle), and then changes his body position mid corner.

Smooth = fast people!

Oh Geez you guys are harsh. I was just out for a mild cruise to test it out wasn't going flat out or anything, just out riding for fun and if I wanna change my body position mid corner and use my the whole lane then so be it :P

You sound like my friend who always blames his nonstop spelling errors on "I wasn't really trying." No, motherfucker, your rear end can't spell good.

VFRs are rad-tastic, I loved the 84 500cc model that my friend loaned me for a year so his wife couldn't get it in the divorce. God, why couldn't I scrounge up $1500 when the time came...

Just looking after your safety and providing constructive criticism. Your jerky motions to the outside of the lane would provide no way of compensating should you come around the corner and an animal/log/gravel/car was just on the outside of the lane. It's pretty obvious that this is your first sport bike and you just want to see what it can do. Sign up for a track day where there is more than 1 turn every minute if you want to really learn to corner at speed.

Really not trying to be a dick so I hope you don't take it that way.

It's constant midcorner corrections. Gotta work on committing to one line through a corner, not one line, correct a bit, correct a bit, etc. You should smoothly move to max lean and then smoothly stand the bike back up. 50 pencing a corner is a really bad thing.

Just try to correct by saying that this isn't my first sport bike and I wasn't out "Seeing what it could do." I learned very well the limits of this bike this past summer, especially so in Colorado. I will have to wait for another nice day when I'm not working or visiting my friend in the hospital (wrecked his dirt bike two weeks ago and is paralyzed chest down now) to go out and make a video and prove I'm not terrible. I didn't know that I would be judged so harshly when I'm just out having fun by myself, and its hard to tell from the video but I do have complete control over this bike and can control it in the event of a sudden obstacle.

Do they chop the stock frames for those or is it a full custom job?

It's a chopped stock back half with a custom front half. He makes full frames for around ~$2k, but the half frame is only $1k so if you already have a broken/cracked frame it's a great option.
