After the first two corners, I was astounded. Not even 1 minute into my first ride on this thng, and I was in love with it's handling.

The stiff frame, excellent suspension, smaller rear tire, and excellent Pilot Powers make for a combination that works so well together.

I have cornered, wheelied and accellerated this bike very hard, without a headshake. It's very well sorted and stable.

I much prefer this bikes seating position and view through the corner. After the doctors sliced open my neck 5" back in 97, I have had less range of motion when turning my head. When you are hunched over a sportbike like a GSXR, this really becomes an issue and hampers your vision. Sitting up straighter allows me a much better view through corners, and I'm more relaxed on the controls too.

Omega-
I have my TFI on order, and I'll share my results with you after I get it sorted. I'm going with the Triumph race cans for now also. Call me crazy, but I dig the shiny twin chubbys on the back.

Please let me know your results on the 520 -1 tooth conversion. I'm interested in it's affect on the brute.

BTW- I have no doubt the frame and suspension can handle extra hp............it's begging for it.
