Now you can start turning it into something like this..... -
My first wife scammed me pretty well ! -
Hello and Welcome. I was in North Wales last week, great weather, beautiful place. -
Considering she earns 5 times my wage and has assets that dwarf mine, im not sure my bikes are at risk, I did ask if SHE wanted one but she said no ! -
-
Been done LOTS of times before... Early one's were chain drive through a universal joint. Later one's were mostly hydralic. There was a VERY quick 2WD R1 built by Ohlins or someone similar that was a little heavier but very quick in the wet.
-
Later Busa's got a stronger subframe and a better ECU and a few minor mods, but I'd be happy to have a clean tidy '99 model in the shed. Low vin-number Copper / Gold '99's are getting collectable, I know of more than one person who's putting one back to original.

Restricted / unrestricted is no big deal. Most folk will never hit the top end anyway. I "derestricted" both of mine for 20p, its just a 6.8ohm resister. What DOES make the early unrestricted models more desireable is their 200mph speedo...

I rode in the UK for 24 years. I've run tuned ZZR11/GSXR11/Katana 11's and 168hp Nitrous Bandit on the road in the UK. Any of them could have done with another 20-25hp at least. Not "needed", just for the entertainment ! Its more about where, when and how you use it. The CB1000R would be a good bike to move up to or as a sensible daily ride. Its just not a "muscle bike / heavy hitter" Not facts, just my view on things...

Spondon big-tube alloy frame, to take 1100 Katana bodywork. Big-bore GSXR1100/Bandit oil-cooled motor (Busa / B-King engines better but ugly) Converted to injection, with a front mounted turbo and under the tank intercooler, Late model GSXR1000/Busa/King radial front end with a matching 6" rear wheel, Alloy over + under braced arm with -1 to +5" adjusters.
-
Not real interested in another bike right now. If I had the money i'd probabley spend it on the bikes I already have or my projects. If i HAD to pick one ? Either a gen2 Hayabusa, a mint late model GSX1100SD Katana, or a Z1R-TC or Z1100R Lawson rep.
-
Have you ridden one ? I like the looks and style but was quite disapointed in the lack of performance. Honda claim its CBR1000 sportsbike based but the truth is the motor is more CBF1000 which is VERY detuned, a Mr Safe and Sensible.
-
Not sure why but i've always had this interest in car-engined bikes. Most are entertaining and funny at least but the "Swifty" wasnt a bad attempt. I just checked google. "NP" plates were Worcester so it may be the one I often saw. Small world. -
I'd like that. Looking at the old rego plate with it, it may be the one I knew to in Kidderminster many years a go. I think "NP" was the plate code for Worcestershire.
-
Titanium exhaust. Clear perspex bracket to mount the number plate off the swingarm. Yoshi logo cut into the undertray is in red perspex and lights up as a brake and tail light. A later watercooler GSXR tank on an Oilcooled frame. Frame cut and welded to take the offset shock on the Single -sided arm. Shrouds to fit over the forks that have no visible fixings. etc etc etc..... I thought the bars looked a bit TOO wide, but sitting on it they didnt feel to bad. -
Whilst in the UK (Nottingham) I arranged to meet up with a Mate. He came out on his latest GSXR (an 1100L model) that he'd just put together in the German streetfighter style. Wide bar's and a short high tail. Whilst I dont expect it to be to most folks tastes, its interesting that it does get used and isnt a show bike.

Im a huge fan of the original Prisoner series, although I hadn't thought of it like that before!! ....... She really is a star and supports much more than I say. Life has got better in so many ways now I've met her.
-
Just been back to the UK for a couple of weeks, had a great time, decided its about time I did the right thing, so on a beautiful day, wandering around the little village of Portmeirion... I got down on one knee and proposed. Very happy to say, we are now engaged.

Maybe this would help Dave..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUZUKI-GSX1300-B-King-K8-BIG-CC-550-BHP-TURBO-2007-57-like-hayabusa-/180878068983?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item2a1d2c4cf7 -

B-King is VERY different to the Bandit. Bandit makes you work, and in return it really does let you know whats going on, even well set up a B12 is low tech and lets you know it when you turn up the pace. B-King is waaaaay better but the extra power, brilliant brakes, frame and good running gear mean its easy to be getting a move on at a fair pace and super smooth before you realise all's about to go pear-shaped. Stick another 10,000 miles on it Dave, you just havent got used to it enough. -
casey stoner announces retirement
Tony nitrous replied to bladerunner's topic in The Pub "Tinker and Budget"
Simoncelli R.I.P. Rossi off his game. Moaner doesnt want to play anymore, Who's next ? At this rate Cal Crutchlow's going to be stood on the podium wondering where everyone's gone. Who said "Steven Bradbury" ......... (he was the Aussie Speed Skater who won a Gold because everyone else fell over!) -
Another pic I took just up the North Coast but a lot closer to home. Lots of pelican's around here. Biggest danger is they sit on the streetlights on the bridges, when they take a dump, its liquid, and its HUGE! I got "hit" in the Ute and couldnt see through the windscreen, so far, i have been lucky on the bike !!! -
On a drive North.... Imagine an Emu, but with a rock hard head and huge sharp feet. One was on record as kicking a dog to death, and there are records back in history of them killing folk. Quite rare out here now. Still wouldnt want to run into one !!!!
