New Bike Day.

[NONE_too_SOFT]

went down to check out a bike i was really interested, and it lived up to and beyond my expectations. This CBR was practically flawless. Guy was asking 5.4k, we agreed on 5k, i'm going to pick it up later this week. Frame sliders, Swing arm sliders, Puig windscreen, Jardine exaust.

This guy made me very confident that the bike was well taken care of. Considering he was really only testing waters (he had just bought a new boulevard cruiser) I couldnt really talk him down too much, but for 5k and the condition this bike is in and has been maintained, im very happy.

I'll need to get new tires, well, just because. w/o the right tires it just feels like you're not riding the right bike. I'll end up getting flushies and new signals to replace the notorious ugly honda stock signals. Other than oil chg and possibly some new pads, this thing is ready to go. Only things im changing are out of preference, this thing is almost imacculate. No scratches, no dents, has never been down, shifts flawlessly, starts flawlessly, feels... well... it feels diferent.

Not the same riding stance as my F3. Its gonna take some adjustment to get used to the more agressive stance, but i think partially the reason i was thrown off was because of the tires. They were a little boxed out from commuting. Even still, its like riding a completely different type of bike.

hes throwin in all sorts of gear and crap too, so be sure to look out for some FS threads by yours truely.
Im going to pick her up later this week.

Noice!

I bet if you painted the back of the windscreen silver it would look pretty good against the bike... Make it all yellow... (that is of course if I am remembering you saying that you weren't crazy about the windscreen)

i wasnt, really. but then i saw it and person and it changed my perspective. its actually very very sweet looking when its right in front of you. Dont think i'll mess with it at all. at the very most i may paint the back of it like you said, silver or black.

the pipe sounds SICK.

wonder how much i can get for the stock pipe, parts, etc.

If you paint the back black, it'll just look black with maybe a hint of yellow... that may actually look pretty cool... If you paint it silver, it'll look yellow...

I see the stock cans going on eBay for sub-$50... You'd be better off selling the Jardine if you wanted to recoup some costs... I bet it sounds too good for that shit though... :D

yeah, selling the jardine is NOT an option. may as well try to scrap the can to somebody looking to jerry rig an undertail exhaust.

TBH i doubt i'll paint the screen... just wait till you see it in person OSP. o wait your a little bitch and dont come to organized events.

[Mr Lefty]

Fuck'n sweet bro! when you get the money getting the swing arm powdercoated black makes the bike look 10000x better IMO. (you'd have to do the rearsets also)

[NONE_too_SOFT]

IDK w/ the silver lower fairing, i think it meshes perfectly. Really not all about the blackout scheme, i've seen so many black bikes it doenst even seem cool any more.

If i were to go any color, it'd be white. Trips CBR is still the baddest CBR around IMO. never thought i'd shoot for yellow. If anyting other than red, it was gonna be blue.

But shit grows on ya. plus i dont think i've EVER seen a yellow 03 600, they're like nonexistant.

Right... I use up all my vacation time riding my motorcycle across THE FUCKING UNITED STATES OF AMERICA... douche.

[jalaan1]

congrats!

looks great. i actually like that color. the PO has it set up pretty nice.

i agree with ebbs on the black out as well, just my .02.

[Mr Lefty]

oh yeah... forgot yours has the silver bottom... I only saw that first pic you posted of it... yeah it probably does look better with the silver...

this is fuck'n awesome though man... glad you got back on two this quick!

[Cutty72]

Nice ride, now go get used to it!

[itgirl]

that's a good lookin' bike! good deal!

[Lamnidae]

Told you 5k was a sweet price.


Gratz on the bike, fuktard! :dthumb:


I'll check the pix when I'm at home.

[Audiomechanic]

[Dave]

sweet bike dude! glad you found a decent deal. just be careful!

[Nighthawk]

dont fuck it up, its purty

[JoJoYZF]

Congrats man. Thats definitely sick. Lookin forward to seein it in person.

[ceo012384]

Congrats dude. You deserve a new ride for sure :cheers:

Can't wait to check that bitch out at the rally.

[Amber Lamps]

Good lookin bike! I like the solid colors and the clean lines! Now you need to go on the Icon website and find some gear to match!!! j/k

[Quick281]

Hell Yes! Congrats on the new bike! Won't be seeing it at the rally, but I am sure I will read up on your experiences as you ride her. :rockwoot:

[DLIT]

Sweet bike. Very capable. I suggest you read up/practice on body positioning and all that. You'll be riding on rails in no time.

[Rider]

Super nice bike NtS. :dthumb:

[Katherine]

Duuuuuuuuude.... That's awesome. No wonder you were excited about it!

[marko138]

Good looking rig man. How many miles?

Damn, everyone is getting new rides.
11k miles, he has receipts of all the oil changes and maintenance, and the engine is in perfect condition.

heres the pics i took just yesterday. i'd say its exactly the same condition as the ones above, taken a while back. Thing had some sparkling wheels.

its what happens to a bike before i own it.

[Nighthawk]

ok, i was confuzeled

[marko138]

Real clean. Bulky honda signals gotta go for sure.

of for shiz. those things cut down on HP through wind resistance for sure.

Im going this route. for the front

, not sure bout the back yet. may go integrated, may not. leaning towards the set in the second column, third down.
http://www.ironpony.com/CatImg/Large/lpusassv.jpg

[Mr Lefty]

if you go the route of the short stalks make sure you go with bulbs... I have the LP LED ones... and they're bright but only when angled at you... you can't see them for shit if your at any sort of angle... :2cents:

yea i know from experience that LEDs are not the way to go for visibility. so Im still not sold on these. any examples, ebbs?

[Mr Lefty]

naw... I don't think so... when I swapped mine over the only pics I took were when the lights were angled at the cam... but if ya want... I'm replacing mine anyhow... so I'll see if cutty will go over and remove the rear signals... (fuck'n 2min job at most) and send them to ya... :idk:

[t-homo]

If you don't mind, how much is insurance going to cost you on that thing? And who is it through?

[dReWpY]

im running led's on back, i havent had trouble being seen, the microns might ahve something to do with it

[Cutty72]

the stock LED's on the 1125 are bright as hell, love 'em!

[pickle.of.doom]

Nice, 03?


And if you want people to actually SEE your turn signals, stick with the stockers. I have some small led flushmounts on my cbr and they might as well just not even be on there.

[Trip]

Yeah my flushmounts are basically there so there isn't a hole cause theyd don't do anything. It's not like I use them though. :lol:

NtS, I may have a pair of short stalks just like that at home for ya. Let me check tonight. Left overs from the SV.

Yea, i know. had the same problem on my F3. the rears were especially bad. But eh, wtf are ya gonna do, i dont want to get airborn from those fucking wings honda tries to pass of as turn signals.

maybe we can all have a "lets mod our bikes" session at the hill again...



like we did with drewpy, cept no crashing.

[Captain Morgan]

Well, not everybody.

not sure bout the back yet. may go integrated, may not. leaning towards the set in the second column, third down.
http://www.ironpony.com/CatImg/Large/lpusassv.jpg

Those things suck! Just about any turn signal smaller than stock sucks for visibility.

And if you want people to actually SEE your turn signals, stick with the stockers. I have some small led flushmounts on my cbr and they might as well just not even be on there.

But, we could also use the argument that riding a bike sucks for visibility so we might as well stick with cages. Fuck that shit. :lol:

[NONE_too_SOFT]

im not keeping the stock signals. so if anybody has any high visability signals that dont look like shit, please feel free to chime in.

[Rider]

I have some short stalks I'll give you for free. I took them off when I went to an integrated tail light. You can see pic of them on my PB page(which I cant access right now). They are the ones that come with the Targa fender eliminator kit.

[Amber Lamps]

See that's what I'd do. Remove the stock fender and get a clear alternatives led tail light with integrated turn signals. Install the Greg's flush mounts in the front.

[NONE_too_SOFT]

yea thats nice tigs, love that integrator, but i dont wanna drop the hundy on it till after deals gap. just ordered these though

http://www.ironpony.com/CatImg/Large/SMOKE-AERO-LED.jpg

and these cheapies for the rear till i can afford the integrator.

Hey ya gotta do what ya gotta do! FYI the int tail light is dist by Tucker Rocky and most stealerships will give you 20% making the tail kit $80 or so. At least you're removing those FUGULISHIOUS stock turn signals! I don't think you'll be happy with the LP short stalks but maybe....

like I said... I have replacements... (stock ones from an 05) that I'm gonna put on... your welcome to these... only bit is I'd have to convince cutty to go take them off and mail them to ya... only cost would be shipping.

[upshift]

Wow how did I miss this thread? Congrats man! That thing looks nice :dthumb:

Whatever u do tho dont get those rear signals that are fake carbon fiber.

[fnfalman]

I don't know why but that yellow color makes me wanted to do a flame job on the fairing.:rockout:

yea no shit, its just painted in a CF pattern, which is why i didnt buy them. i only got the plain black ones. For 15 bucks it'll keep me happy until i can get the integrator or WE.

[pickle.of.doom]

You should paint the lower fairing (gray) black, looks sweet.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/bakedpickle/100_1244.jpg

[NONE_too_SOFT]

it wouldnt look as sweet with my grey swing arm... but i think you just gave me a winter project. know anybody that can powdercoat?

and wtf is w/ solo cowls costing 190 god damn dollars? i know targa is usually a fucking rip but ffs i could buy a completly new tail for 190 bucks.

[t-homo]

I'd just keep the seat there.

[pickle.of.doom]

Yeah, I looked into that shit a little bit too, but figured fuck it, the price for a cowl is close to 1/2 the price of a whole set of track plastics, so I am just going to wait until I finally take it off the street for good.... when I pick up bike #3 :D

targa pretty much the only one you found?

I'd just keep the seat there.

if its not gonna get used its gonna get taken off. along w/ the pass pegs. i dont need hoochie mommas crampin my style.

[pickle.of.doom]

Hmmm I don't really remember, may be, but check around on Ebay motors, the parts and accessories, you will find some variety there, but nothing I was ever too keen on buying.

[t-homo]

targa pretty much the only one you found?



if its not gonna get used its gonna get taken off. along w/ the pass pegs. i dont need hoochie mommas crampin my style.

Yeah, I took the passenger pegs off of the blast, cuz the main ones were kinda bent, so i just switched them and left them off. New bike already has them off and a cover.

[Amber Lamps]

targa pretty much the only one you found?



if its not gonna get used its gonna get taken off. along w/ the pass pegs. i dont need hoochie mommas crampin my style.


Yea me too! I very rarely take anyone riding with me. My pegs and seat are usually in the closet. Btw I'll check around but I think that the cowl from a 1000 fits your bike as well. If this is true,it'll give you more options. So far the best I could find was a red one for $100 or an unpainted one for $112. I'll keep looking...

[Mr Lefty]

so when do you pick the bitch up?

[NONE_too_SOFT]

well its supposed to thunderstorm all day tomorrow, so not tomorrow.

Its only supposed to rain a little on friday, and mostly in the AM... so friday it is.

only problem is i cant get down to get the thing notorized until around 5-530... so its gonna be close to get the title notorized. and all that. then im on my way back up here.

[Mr Lefty]

how far away is he? cant you do the notorizing on thursday then just get the bike friday?


what are you getting notorized? bill of sale?

[NONE_too_SOFT]

um the title. doesnt it have to be notorized when he signs it over?

and its 2 1/2 hours away so i dont want to have to make this trip more than once more.

[Mr Lefty]

Oh... I didn't know... I've never had the title notorized... I don't think... :idk: just took the title in with the signature on the back and had it transfered to my name...

could be diffrent state by state though

[marko138]

PA has to be notorized, MD does not. It varies by state. Call the DMV.

[NONE_too_SOFT]

pretty sure i need it notorized. also need some form i just printed off.

[dReWpY]

OH titles have to be notorized, its a pita

[NONE_too_SOFT]

yea it is. taxs are also a PITA as well.

[pickle.of.doom]

Gay. They give you one of those full size automobile temp plates too?

[Dave]

OH titles have to be notorized, its a pita

sounds like it, in nj you just sign the title and take your happy ass to the dmv. extra easy. still get boned on taxes though

[Phenix_Rider]

Yup. Had to do that with my truck. Had fun finding a notary open at 9pm.

I ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!!!! Nothing is FUGLIER than fake carbon fiber!
SERIOUSLY!!!! I remember back on :twf: that :pg: covered half his bike that shit. Fake CF FTL.

[t-homo]

Real carbon fiber is cool. Not fake though.

[Smittie61984]

Traitor. How could you abandone the F3???

Actually if I had a chance or the means to get a new bike that F3 would be gone.

[Mr Lefty]

uh... he decided to see if his F3 would fit under the guard rail... it didn't...

[NONE_too_SOFT]

Ahhh... just get the seller to say you paid $1000 or whatever...

actually... 2000. its whats on his title, and its whats going on mine. only 180 tax w/ that amount. im keeping the bill of sale notorized for resale value though.

uh... he decided to see if his F3 would fit under the guard rail... it didn't...

well, actually, it did... it just wouldnt come out without a little help.

[Mr Lefty]

:lol: ahh ok.. any pics?

[NONE_too_SOFT]

nah i was too pissed at the time, and my phone battery was dying from trying to find service so much.

[Mr Lefty]

yeah I figured it was a long shot.

oh well... turned out well for ya!

[NONE_too_SOFT]

im kickin myself now... but at the time it was kinda like this.


"o shit i crashed"... "im out in the middle of nowhere[check phone]"..."o shit my battery is almost dead"..."i dont even want to post this shit on the internet anyways, how fucking retarded am i"..." oh god still nobody, and my phone is STILL dying"

and then some people showed up and helped. after that it was a scramble to get the bike unwedged from the guard rail and get me back into town. its pretty fucking scary riding a sport bike with your front caliper leaking for 8 miles.

[Smittie61984]

I'm calling BS!!!

You just wanted a new bike and figured if you slid into a gaurdrail you could get a new one. I see your angle.

Just curious but do you still have the bike and do you plan to part it out? I need some spare rims if they are good. Plan to do a lot of long trips this year and want to put some interstate oriented tires so I don't wear out my PPs

I know you are going to quote "So I don't wear out my PPs" and cut out the rest.

that's exactly how I felt when my tire when flat 100 miles outside of anchorage... looked down and had no signal.. too a step and.. .beep signal... took me 50some calls to AAA to get one to last long enough to pass enough info for them to send a truck. and I was in a mountain pass and the sun was setting... I'd have froze to death

nah, didn't get the salvage title this time... felt like i would have been robbing the ins company AGAIN. i donno what they'll do with the bike, give state farm a call and find out.

[PhiSig1071]

Congrats on the new bike! Glad you didn't get hurt trying to limbo under a guardrail with an F3.

[NONE_too_SOFT]

yo, check out my blog thread for the scoop on how i gotsts my bike today. it was quite the adventure. pics and stuff like usual.


and there are now fucking SIX New bike day threads... wtf i started a pandemic (okay 5 new bike threads, and one new visor thread... somebody feels left out)

[JoJoYZF]

My cheap ass flush mounts just showed up from iron pony today, should I start a new thread for those now too?

[NONE_too_SOFT]

if you do, i will too. i got my flushes yesterday...

fucking 40 bucks for mine though.

[JoJoYZF]

Mine were something like 27 with shipping and OH tax I think.

[PiZdETS]

Looking good, dig the undertail exhaust.

[Smittie61984]

okay 5 new bike threads, and one new visor thread... somebody feels left out

F U man. I'm going to Deal's Gap tommorow and I'll crash my F3 and get a F4 instead and I'll show you. How's that better you ask??? Well it's This F4 (http://www.mvagustausa.com/web-mvagusta/07_F4_CC.html)

Damn man. I was at the Honda dealer today and since it was "New Glove Day" I picked up my Cortech gloves for my summertime riding.

Well they had 4 new 1000RRs in there and all I could do was drool on them(Then violate them which got me kicked out for some reason). I wish I could get one and was tempted to see if I could(I doubt it though). Except my insurance would be roughly $200-300 a month.

[NONE_too_SOFT]

yea, i saw that f4 at the bike show... i tried to touch it but then blacked out and found myself lying face down in a dumpster in mexico.


you seriously have to TRY to make a bike that expensive, it just doesnt "happen".

[Dave]

Ahhh... just get the seller to say you paid $1000 or whatever...

sssh buddy, they'll hear you ;)

[NONE_too_SOFT]

2500 was on the title, and is going on mine. only 150 in taxes that way.

apparently the guy he got it from works for a dealer, and he owed him a favor... a very expensive favor.

he bought the bike off him for that much, and im SAYING i bought the bike of him for that much. If i need proof of purchase price for re-sale i still have my bill of sale to clear things up w/ a potential buyer down the road.

[Smittie61984]

I saw it too. Didn't realize what it was until my friends said "Did you see that $150,000" bike? I thought they were referring to some of those gay ass choppers I saw there. Hell I was drooling over the $25,000 Agusta.

If I did have that bike I would tell everyone I ride a F4.

Also one thing I love about Atlanta is it is full of all kinds of people from all over the world. Plus there is a lot of money here so people can fork over big bucks for cool toys. At a local Wednesday night bike night that is actualy 30miles from Atlanta I remember seeing 3 Brand New MV Agustas pulling up along with 4 brand new Ducati 1098s. And you'll see them all in the mountains too. I think I remember seeing a chick on one at a gas station one time before hitting the twisties.

[Mr Lefty]

Once again Sweet bike NtS... any mods come to mind after your first good ride? what gloves did you get (you selling your rockets right?)

ha, Yea, yea, it all turned out okay. hate to think that i'll need to crash every time i get a new bike tho.

mods? not really.

gonna get rubber, oil (+filter), air filter before the gap. then after that its all about track readiness.

already have my flushmounts, i'll put em on tomorrow when i have time, and it's supposed to rain.

[Mr Lefty]

nice... did you already get the short stalk lights for the rear? if you get the bulb ones... let me know how they work...

[NONE_too_SOFT]

yea i got em, tbh i dont know if they're bulbs or leds. didnt say led's, so i figure they're bulbs. they got backorded, i'll have em next week.

[Carolina]

I hate all you guys, naw but congrats fuckkk i can't wait to get my new bike

You should do what that one dude from TWF did and paint the forks and swingarm black, or powder coat it. Shit looked tits. Actually, I'm pretty sure Pickle owns it now. Post a pic of it, Pickle.

i've got a 600.

yea i think we talked about that on page 2. it very well might happen over the winter.

[DLIT]

His is a 600. Nevermind.

Pussy. Shoulda got a Busa

Saw the helmet was different than the one on your bike but don't see many yellow 600RRs like that around.

600 is all i need. 600 is all anybody needs.

Yup. And when you think it's slow because you had it for a while, take it to the track. You'll have a new-found love of it.

It's a 2000 though. A 600 from last year makes more power :lol: .

New 600s make 164 at the wheel? Incredible. I got an R1 because it was a better deal than I could find on an R6 or 600rr. I don't regret it at all, but do realize there is no way I will ever need it.

Highly doubt your '00 R1 puts out that much at the wheel. Maybe 150-155. Still way more than I'll ever need.

[t-homo]

That's what he got it dynoed at last summer. Full Hindle exhaust, stage 3 jet kit, K&N air filter, some cam work. -2 rear sprocket, but that doesn't make a difference. And yes, that is way more than I will ever need either.

Oh. Didn't realize he had that done.

[t-homo]

Yeah, its pretty ridiculous. It's a hell of a lot of fun though. No way in hell I will ever get close to this bikes potential.

[Mr Lefty]

I just would rather not have the big bulky bike that the 1000's seem to be... I like the size of my 600... the new 1000's are almost if not just as light... but they still seem to be bigger and bulkier... :idk:

[t-homo]

It's bigger than my friends 05 600rr, but when riding, it doesn't feel huge or bulky or anything. IDK.

simmer down there pumpkin patch, twas a joke.
sportrider dyno'd a 2000 r1 at 127 hp stock so most were probably around 130.
http://images.sportrider.com/bikes/146_02_z+2000_r1_dyno_chart+.jpg
If the previous owner was able to pull an additional 35 hp out of that engine without switching to FI so be it but a 2005 stock r6 made 110, only 17 down from the 2000 r1 in 5 years of development.
http://images.sportrider.com/bikes/146_02_z+2005_yamaha_yzf_r6_dyno+hptq_copy.gif
The newer 600's are making close to 125 from what I hear so I wasn't that far off in my original statement though it was meant only in jest.

[DLIT]

Dude broke out the dyno charts.

[PiZdETS]

Dude broke out the dyno charts.
I'm honestly not trying to own him or anything, I'm just saying that my joke about a 600 from last year being more powerful than his 2000 r1 was referencing the incredible development pace of sportbikes, not that 2000 r1's were weak bikes.
Quite the contrary, the first R1's were wildly powerful in their day, restarting the liter bike market with the emphasis on supreme power and light-weight which outlines the class to this day.

My liter's only an 03 and apparently makes LESS power than trocks older r1.
Time to start shopping for some nitrous....

[Dnyce]

600 is all anybody needs.

i disagree.


piz-your bike doesnt make 160? doesnt it have a pipe/pc?

[t-homo]

simmer down there pumpkin patch, twas a joke.


I didn't take offense, just joked back as much as anything. Stock, you really aren't too far from off, which is pretty fuckin cool for technology. I found some theoretical top speed calculator saying my bike would do 189, which is stupid fast. I know 1st gear does 83ish.

[PiZdETS]

i disagree.


piz-your bike doesnt make 160? doesnt it have a pipe/pc?
Yes but it was never dynod, it's just using the yoshimura supplied fuel map. Full yosh street exhaust, pc3 and upsized ram-air intakes. I would guess it makes 160ish, stock they're rated around 152.
The fueling is perfect and progressive so I haven't been motivated to get a custom map.

I concur. Although I'm partial to the 1203cc Vtwin. :rockwoot:

[Amber Lamps]

You guys are funny! I almost bought the '07 GSXR750 because it had the same hp as my '03 GSXR1000. I remember when I had my YZF1000 (130 hp btw)and all the mags were including the GSXR750 in the liter class comparos and it was holding it's own. I know you all hate GSXRs but as a point. For most years,all the GSXRs are basically the same bike,same basic frame,swingarm,ergos,etc. So to say that one is "bulkier" than another is ridiculous. If I'm not mistaken,they always stay within a few puonds of each other as well...:2cents: Oh and in '97 Yamaha took a page from Suzuki's playbook and made all three of their bikes almost exactly the same between the 600,750 and 1000.

[t-homo]

A 750 would be great. I wish more of the bike companies made them jsut so there was more competition.

[dReWpY]

you guys are all about the quick lightweigth carvers.. so im i but you cant count a big bike as usless. after riding in a downpour thunderstorm on a two lane highway having semis go by at >60 and going through ways of water as they sprayed into my lane, my pig never as much as budged, ill take a bigger stable bike as my street ride and a 600 for track and gap runs, other then that, i love the stability of the rc, this thing is a tank and i love it

[Rider]

:werd: The 750 is the perfect bike size, and all manufacturers need to make them. Who cares if there is no AMA 750 class. A 750 on the street is the shit.

[Smittie61984]

I saw a new ZX-10r get dynoed that had nothing but a Full exhaust and it put 146 to the wheel. Then another guy came in with a bone stock 2007 ZX-14 and put down 142 to the rear. Then my buddy who has everything done to his 04 Hayabusa(Before turbo and engine work) put down 136 to the rear. Done on a Factory Pro dyno if that makes a difference.

I thought the new 600s where putting around 110 to the rear and your litres around 130 or so to the rear.

Nah,I posted my dyno sheet last year...my bike puts down about 160 to the rear,altho' I had it dyno'd down here and I got 156 hp but it's got almost 20,000 on it now so....

My Mom died before tampons became popular but you may be able to find an old maxi-pad somewhere. Heck,she was European I'm not sure they use anything. They just let that big old bush and leg hair soak it up!!! Ewwwwww....!

Hey sexy,I think I have those frame sliders. Did you get the tie down adapters that go with them? They are sweet and let you tie down away from the handlebars and body of the bike.

If they have 3 bolts that hold the delrin onto the alum carrier then you can get the tie down adts from Lockhart Phillips. If the pucks screw on,then you can get the adts from Yoyodyne. Shoot other companies make thos "mushroom" style pucks too,hmmm. When you sober up let me know what brand they are.

As long as you have the signed title, you have a certain amount of time to get permanent tags. No problem there. The license thing is bad though...
