Woke up at 6am on Sunday to go to dallas, picked up 2 of my friends and left for dallas at around 7:30am, finally got to denton so my friend can pickup a new bike for himself (07 kawi zx6r). afterwards we drove back, got 30 minutes of rest or so, then headed over to pearland where i picked up mine up.
i started on a blue ninja 500r, upgraded to a blue ninja zx6r, and decided to keep the blue tradition by going with an 04 blue zx10r with only 6k miles (my current 04 zx6r has 24k). here's a quick photo of it i took the same day I got it, I'll do a full shoot of it once I'm done installing some goodies that are on the way.
current mods: muzzy full exhaust, scotts steering damper, power commander, michellin dot race tires (switching these out with corsa 3's since i only do one track day per month), 1 tooth down in front sprocket
already got a list of things i need to get.. integrated turn signals, integrated tail light, steel brake lines, new pads, upgraded master brake cylinder, track fairings, bla bla bla..
first impression: this thing shouldn't be legal.
i was in 6th gear on the way home on the freeway, yanked the throttle and my neck snapped back and the bike just took off like i was in the power band. keep in mind 1st gear does 104 mph or so, so i was completely in the wrong power band. i can't imagine doing the same thing in 2nd gear, it would most likely make the front end come up and keel me. suspension wise i can't say much because it hasn't been tuned to my weight yet and i rode it home with underinflated tires.
probably gonna enjoy it in street form for a while before i track it out completely, but yeah.. this thing is nutz.
oh yeah, and my friends bike with my old track bike in the background
