Default Went on an R1 today...

I totally forgot how fast bikes are Not driven one since I had my bike accident in 2002.

It had a little box of tricks, race can and something else that I cant remember, 2007 shape if that means anything to anyone? What power are they, Kev (the owner) reckons its about 180bhp!


...and a note to myself, never pull throttle back hard when on a dusty ground! Ones pants went brown LOL


I want one.

presumably the 'box of tricks' was a power commander? a piggy back ecu that modifies the injector duration, but does nothing with the ignition mapping.

Wet weight probably wont be 180 Kg and then you need to add a rider and gear. Not 1000 bhp/tonne but still enough
