i wish they'd put the integrated mirror signals on the new 600s like they did the 1000s.

yeah... they're not only nicer for the track... but they're up high and more noticeable for drivers... and they don't get washed out by bright headlights as easy...

that's one thing I like about the new GSXR... the headlights are supposed to be actually very good!

now if they'd just left the exhaust alone... instead of fucking it up with that big monstrosity!

Actually they are worse for the track, they are a pain in the ass to take off.

thats what i was thinking... where as a regular mirron you can just unbolt and cap off, you have to deal with wires and shit there.

oh... I thought they did it because it was one thing to take off instead of two... :idk:

well i've never taken em off. i suppose if the connectors were right there (by the bolts) it would be fairly simple. but, while all i've ridden is honda, they are not always known for simplicity.

The CBR needs a slipper and the torque numbers are less than impressive. The 848 has some nice torque but there has to be a way to smooth out the valley from 5-6k RPM.

The Duc is $4-4.5k more than the rest...humm...

The Triumph price-wise looks like a great deal.

The Gsxr surprised me.

on the 1125 there is a quick connect for the turn signals up on the dash area.
should be pretty simple to remove. :idk:

Some impressive torque/HP numbers from the Triumph. Lacking a few revs, or it would beat all the fours. Don't know why it's lap times are so slow though. And the Kawi's positively suck- WTF?!

What do they expect from the 848? It has a ton more displacement than the others.

The Ten Kate Hondas are tearing the living shit out of the 848s and the 675s on the track in europe. So....:zowned:

Did you watch the AMA Formula Extreme race from Infinion Raceway? The 2 Erion Honda's kicked the shit out the rest of the field. Of course Hayes and Zemke are also the best riders, but they also have the best bikes/team.

...And they cheated. Makes you wonder if Ten Kate isn't cheating too.

That was one race at Daytona in one bike... Ten Kate isn't cheating, they always own with the bikes they put out. They aren't using stock bikes, they are heavily modified.
