It isnt legal for the road as it has no lights, indicators, registration plate, road worthy tyres (its on semi slicks) or legal exhaust system....

What does something like that cost, must be over 10k right? How come you afford that but only have a Supra for your day-to-day car? Do you have a sponsor that buys your bikes or something like that?

JohnA Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 looks like it needs anchors to tie it down, otherwise it might float away. How much does it weigh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

npotts Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 So you have that as a fun bike for track days? What does something like that cost, must be over 10k right? Well its actually going to be used for racing. The track days are purely a way to fine tune the bike and your skills before racing. This bike cost over £30k to build from scratch. Its had over 200 hours on the dyno as well, fettling it. They are certainly not cheap. I bought it after it was used for the Isle of Man TT, with 433 miles on the clock, so it didnt cost me 30k, but still not cheap!! How come you afford that but only have a Supra for your day-to-day car? Do you have a sponsor that buys your bikes or something like that? (no offence like, just seems kinda odd) The reason I 'only' drive a Supra for a day to day car is just that, I cant afford anything more expensive (that cost me nearly 14k), as all my money goes into bikes. I have my car up for sale as we speak to fund more bike equipment and racing costs. Dont get me wrong, I love my Supra, but nothing comes close to the excitement I can get on a bike on the track. looks like it needs anchors to tie it down, otherwise it might float away. How much does it weigh? Its light, seriously light. I dont have a figure yet, but weight has been cut everywhere on it. Its considerably lighter than a production R1. Thats lurvely....cant wait to get my bike now What you going for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmic Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 What you going for? Initially a 600 mate as ive only ridden strokers before (RGV250/rs 250 Aprilia) so maybe James' R6 or a gsxr600 srad something along those lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive not ridden an R6, but the gixxers are nice. I recently rode a CBR600RR on the track and they are very nice too - have you looked at them?

Ive always liked the ZX-7's, very nice bikes and like Jamie says, you can pick them up for good money. Personally I would look into these as well. They still look the nuts in my opinion, and will be easier to sell than the gixxer down the line, as they are still very desirable....

SUPRASUZUKI Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Nic one Nick. I look forward to the reports of racing success. I never had the balls the or money to race. Just out of interest, post up the weight if you get a figure. I'm interested in how close to Yamaha's quoted 'dry' weight the bike is. Oh, and try to stay on the thing......
