Thought it was an engine from a GSXR1100? (hence the name of the file)

You may be right as I was wondering where the sequential gearbox came from.

either way, I want one. :D

[nz_climber]

That thing is awsome, I'll put my name down for one of them! :D those huge power slides with full opposite lock through the coners :thumbup:

Be perfect the inner city traffic I have to put up with every day :)

We are a little wacky, aren't we. :cool:

Why would anybody want to ruin an open-class sportbike motor by sticking it in a kiddie toy?

"Car guys" are funny.....:p

[flobee1kenobi]

We need these things for Speeds/woodoggies in November!
That is just insane---but the concept has crossed my mind from time to time!

What are you riding these days l_g?

[lone_groover]

Nothing slick. I have a modest '99 Suzook 350DR 4-Stroke that's great around the city, but hardly anything fast and furious. Definitely get something big and pointy next spring though; prolly an R1.

How 'bout you, 2c, still riding the big cruiza? :thumbup:

:D Yeah, sportin' mean glares from the Harly dudes 'cuz I'm on a cruiser with a radiator and shaft drive, and wearing a full face helmet. And of course the sporty bike buys don't even look my way. Us Japanases cruiser guys are in a class of our own. The red headed step child class! I'll tell ya though, my Intruder is an '86 700 and runs like the day it left the showroom. All I do is change the fluids.

My local dealer kids me everytime I go to get parts, he says, "get off your dads Olds and onto your wifes boyfreinds Porsche". Funny guy, but I always stop and drool over the gixxers.
I read about the R1s in a bike mag. Very cool. :thumbup:

My brother-in-law (no... not the porn-spanker) got one last Spring. Incredible performance. Even with all the extra weight I bring to the party vs the Superbikers of the world, that thing scared the Hell outta me.

...And I'm fearless. ;)
