It's done 125,000km (last time I had it), is poorly maintained, usually dirty, and an absolute loving hoot to ride. It has two throttle positions: Idle and MASSIVE WAAAALL O' TORQUE!

Your progression has been entirely too sensible and in line with CA thinking. Next bike busa or bust.

Hell yes dude, this is a great idea! Lemme know anytime you're up here again! I can help ya move if all goes well, etc. Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:Get some bigger cans. You don't want to have small cans do you? Debaffled delk stubby, sounds loving excellent Also turns out they never made a gsxr 600/750/1k front fender in the color of my SV, so that's a little annoying.

That's pretty sharp. Bigger can and a front fender of some persuasion would be nice, but good work. Hope you got it for a price you're happy with and ride the gently caress out of it.
