glad he at least got the right color... cant say the same for Ed's R1 but I think they both make about the same power.

THanks for pics RC. It looks good on that colour. Honestly I don't like this kind bikes but CBR 1100 XX blackbird looks better than that.

Yeah the looks aren't the best (would prefer an R1) - but who cares when it goes like that! :shock:

That guy drives very well - smooth lines, no unnecessary handle bar movement. Last time we could see that he was sort of cooped up going along with us in slow cars (apart from Z06 which could atleast compete). He is going to be even more disappointed this time.

Yeah, those things are starting to pop up over here too. I'm not at all a fan of the styling, but I’m not really a fan of any of the current sport touring bikes. The headlights on that thing make me think of an alien bug. I’ve asked a few owners how they like it, but they can never give me an answer stating they just got it and don’t have enough seat time to give an honest appraisal. I wonder what Suzuki’s new Hayabusa is going to be putting down to reclaim its throne? My bike is putting down about the same horsepower to the wheels as the ZX, but it sure as hell wasn’t doing it stock. I’m curious what the difference would be in a race since my bike is so much lighter. I’ll probably never know.

Cool bike. I was checking one out earlier today. A guy i deliver stuff to bought one, in green. I think it's pretty damn cool. I'm no bik expert, all he told me was that it's unbelievably fast. LOL

I kind of like the styling

I don't know when you're planning the next fun run, but i don't think i'm going to be able to make it. I'm thinking my days in the south are numbered.
