New Bike Day...#2
Just put a down payment on a 2000 R1. It has a full Hindle exhaust system, Stage 3 jet kit, K&N air filter, brembo brake lines, and a -2 sprocket in the back. -2 because he wanted to tame it down some in the low end. Paint job done by him because he liked Rossi's YZR M1 so much, but wanted red. He does car body work on the side, adn when I got there he was working on a lexus. Only downfall is that is currently has 42K miles on it. I gave him 300 today to hold until next tuesday when my dad and I can pick it up. I rode it about 4 blocks, and it felt very smooth and controlable, but like anytime I wanted to, I could throw the front end up in the air. Seating position was pretty comfortable for what it is.
I snapped some pictures before I left. http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u...h/IMG_0544.jpg http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u...h/IMG_0545.jpg http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u...h/IMG_0546.jpg http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u...h/IMG_0547.jpg http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u...h/IMG_0548.jpg |
fucking stealing my thunder AND my thread title, eh bitch?
going from a blast to a litre aint gonna be a picnic, be careful, and post them pics. as for the mileage, dont sweat it. at least you'll get to know engines VERY well if you need to take it apart when things go wrong. hope the guy took care of it for ya. Now, pics, please. |
pics or :wiz:
|
pics or you'll turn him into a dragon and let him eat you? trip thats fucked up even for you.
|
sweet... fuck that's a step up from the Blast! :lol:
with technology being what it is... I'll say that that bike will easly do 100k... the only reason you don't see more bikes with 100k is they get sold so much for the latest and greatest. My goal is to hit 100k on my bike... 6k right now... :lol: |
editting pics in after we threatened you. BOOO!!! Nice lookin bike
|
Pics are up, and yes, I realize how huge of a step it is going to be. I think I am smart/mature enough to ease into the power of the beast.

yessir, looks like a clean bike. like the high mount, hows it sound?
you gonna change the gearing back? |

I will probably leave the gearing for now. Maybe go back to stock at some point. Chain and sprocket were changed last year so its not like I need to replace them soon as far as wear. |
