Green, I know what you did last summer...
12/04/16 1:17 PM

...and it wasn't this!

Hope you have a relaxing winter and early spring. Get out and ride your birds!

My new top speed. Stock speedo is accurate against GPS at 90 mph so should be pretty close on top too.

tuning in the garage.

tuning on the road.

Now Rook, whats this post doing under General ZX-14"R"?

Nah, just kidding. Amazing stuff.
Its really great to see a guy who is and has always been so passionate about every aspect of his 14 and the incredible end result and product of his endeavours.
Your bike looks and is absolutely kick arse.
Mate, never sell that machine. Ever...

But two things. How about you and I race in the wet, and you also change that shift light from 8000rpm to 10500rpm?

Well, where is Grn gonna look?

How about you and I race in the wet, and you also change that shift light from 8000rpm to 10500rpm?

If you got stock gearing, I'll bet you I'd take you up to 150! You'll notice that is only 65% throttle until I get in 6th gear too. Didn't want to chance missing a gear on the last run of the season. You and me get together, yahnni, I show no mercy!


Good stuff Rook!

Sweet


It is sweeetness I strive for in every minute, every mile!!!

"If you got stock gearing, I'll bet you I'd take you up to 150!"
Ha Ha Rook. You have missed my point. I would destroy you on straights and corners alike in the wet due to one simple fact.
Your slick tyres...

Yeah, I missed it. OK, you got me but only when the road is wet. The slicks aren't any good cornering on cool roads and I didn't dare try on wet as much as I tried to avoid the whole wet situation all together. Love them for a hot dry day though. Cheaper than super corsas and a little better. That extra few mm in back makes such a difference for turn in. Buy 'em while they're hot. they're out of production.

LOL Grn I did meet one cop this summer while doing a tuning run and I was doing 130. cut throttle and coasted by at 100 mph. He or she just kept going. thank my lucky stars.

wish I had more videos. There a lot of short fast runs for tuning like this one and a few were actually pretty interesting like the one whizzing by the sheriff and the one where the deer stopped in the road and looked at me.
