After seeing this and pondering many google articles about it I am convinced that I need one. Regardless of how well it does or doesnt do in GP2 I think the hub steering and the low low weight would be worth the money. I mean really over the Buell 1190RS for the money? Not that I will ever have that much to spend.

And I am certain you could find a traction control and ECU system to work with the engine from the WSS ranks...Oh and it looks incredible as well. Think of how much you would have to redesign a modern 600 supersport to get down to under 300 lbs. And to have the biggest reduction in unsprung weight is just a bonus.

Kit looks the route to go with this. Scoop up a salvage title cbr 600 and swap everything over. Tell the insurance its still a honda

I'm sure you could contact erion for their cast off electronics. Could you imagine what a trackday weapon this would be? Wonder if it would be legal for the unlimited classes in club racing

Yes I can imagine what a track day weapon it would be. You could buy engines and ECU tractiion systems aplenty, maybe even Frankenstein one up with ABS and traction control out of a late model CBR that got totalled.

I wouldnt care for racing it it some unlimited class as I think it would still lose out to superbike spec literbikes, but it would literally kill against anything on a tight or short course.
