I thought that was all that people did on the internet.  All the arguments end up semantics, snarky bullshit, or picking at spelling/grammAR.

Hope you like the 675. I liked mine initially but the soft power delivery makes it not as fun to ride to me... and we all know how that ends (trading the bike).

With a Speed triple throttle tube and a dyno tune it's not nearly as sedate. I have no problem keeping up with my buddy's Ducati 848 on the track. It's not slow in the least, it just doesn't have that 'hit' of power an i4 does.

Tracks are taken seriously over here, even though street riding generally isn't. Racing, yes. Trackdays - most C group / lowest level groups allow textile suits or a jacket zipped to riding pants. I've never heard of a trackday org checking helmet dates either, though every racing one does. My local one doesn't require a back protector in B/C either.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is making over 300hp - the Hayabusas with the MCXpress kits start at like 400hp. The thing has no fairings. And it's running away from a fully faired GSXR1000. Over 180mph. Some turbo Hayabusas are throwing down over 700whp. BlackMK4 fucked around with this message at 07:33 on Nov 5, 2013 |

I also have a Husqvarna sm610 with a custom Up-Tite exhaust with the arrestor removed. I have not had any trouble in my apartment complex as long as I'm not ripping full throttle until I'm down the road a ways. I don't know how you ride that poo poo. My Yoshimura passes a 94dB test and I wouldn't want anything louder.

I've got a mate that does it and it's loving dangerous to follow him because you can't tell what he's going to do. There is a local riding spot that is a 15mph speed limit on the side of a mountain - on days that there are rangers I will just turn the bike off and coast down this twisty rear end road without my hands on the bars and use body english to bring the bike down the mountain.

I've been riding my bike around without fairings, mirrors, front indicators, or headlight for the past few days. Squidding, ahoy.

Good source of cheap crashed bikes for the rest of us.

I'm cool with the kid now - we are the same age and relate about a lot of things. Top level guy and prodigy go back to Chicago last week and the kid comes back with a 2001 R1 in pieces. Top level guy pulls me aside at work and tells me to help put the bike back together so the kid has some form of transportation - I told him I will do this but what happens afterwards is completely out of my hands and I think it's a loving terrible idea.

Mine was a 2001 CBR600F4i - I'd only ridden a YZ80 for a couple of years when I was much younger. Then again, I worshipped road racing and read/watched everything I could about it from like age 14 to 20.
