ugh, if my aging wrists and back could take sportbike ergos, I’d find it hard to resist the urge.

“ +1 tooth larger sprocket in the back”

I’m guessing this reduces top speed in favor of quicker acceleration. How much does one extra t ooth help in this scenario?

you’d have to know the ratio to be sure, works the same as gearing. when I had my little V-Star 250 a common mod was to change the sprockets to get a little more top end; I did the mod and it helped. didn’t hurt acceleration all that much, but with only 16-18 hp hard to tell the difference ;)

I will likely take it back to stock. My track bike has a 1 tooth smaller front, and it is quicker accelerating, its not worth it on the road.

I was mostly right there with you until that last item on your positive upgrades list.

Why did lever guards on bikes that don’t encounter objects requiring them become a thing?

Very nice, if i was to tracka bike this and the R6 would be my choice.

These MFers just follow you home sometimes. Don’t blame yourself, but do enjoy it and CONGRATS!!

err...what?

the gu a rd is there so if tracking/racing, you dont tangle up with another rider and somehow end up getting the front brake squeezed.

that was already ordered and paid for. its on its way right now.

What with the one side bark buster? Never seen that on a street bike

as per my reply to Nom de Plume

Lever guard on a street bike? Ok then. And attack triples da fuck?

previous owner threw MONEY at this thing man.

He intended on tracking, and then the GF asked him to stop riding. so he sold it.

you know, is he even relevant anymore?

Also I dont think he had this generation. I am safe :)

I really hope he isn't. But I'm also not sure he ever was. Followers do not necessarily equal relevance.
