Interesting bike on eBay....

I was just poking around on eBay looking for some bits when I ran across this. Kinda makes me wish I had an extra $7500 lying around!

Cheers,
-Kit

That is one beautiful machine. Wonder what kind of performance numbers he can achieve with that set-up? Think I'll ask for a demo ride

Wow. Regardless of the upgrades and neat aftermarket bits, that is one beautiful Sprint. I can't imagine what a turbo'd 955 would feel like. *mind wandering*

Kinda like a 'busa. Only comfortable. And pretty.

I seem to recall someone that may have been on this forum a year or so ago, that had a turbo 955 Tiger.

I was seriously considering doing this to my 99 ST at the time, so I made a few enquiries of the owner.

The key points were:
Its intoxicating to ride.
It would pass everything on the road except a fuel station.
And its best to get used to riding around with the front wheel in the air.

I'm far to responsible for such things now.....
