Just got it home. Holy f*** that is an incredible machine. Somehow, it's lighter, more nimble, and easier to ride than my 600 with 50% more power.

It's a Honda. Honda > Suzuki.

You're moving on up. The next step is a Harley. But you're not mature enough for that yet. Honda is nice intermediate step towards that ultimate goal; that American dream.

And you can crash it 50% faster.

Just kidding.

Be safe.

Most people don't crash into you cause they dont see you. they are just laughing so hared at your gay helmet that they can't see thru the tears of hilarity..

You should get a full size "caution" sign and mount it on your lid.

What? You're not actually wearing that clown helmet on that bike, are you?

Sure it's lighter. You already wrecked it and knocked a whole heap of parts off.

So you ended up going with the red?

**Mannix** · October 14th, 2009, 07:12 AM

Red & black.

Trey, what is the top speed of that bike?

Aren't some of the imports reaching close to 200mph now?

First mod is gonna be a fender eliminator that drops 2lbs. After that some light forged wheels and then a few few carbon parts that are lighter than factory plastics.

I'd like to drop 20lbs from it without changing the exhaust (easy way to drop 5-7lbs), but that might be a bit aggressive.

The first mod I would make is the 160 lbs rider.

You think you could get it to break the 9.00 second barrier?

Me as in the rider? I don't think I could get it into the 9's at all.

A longer swing arm, cams and bolt ons should get it damn close. That gets them around 175rwhp according to the internets. The put down about 145 stock.
