Thinking of selling the RC

Thinking of selling the RC and getting a GSXR1000. They are so fast and with the Boz kit have traction control. I figure it is the best way to get to the low 40's at Baaa-rber. Is there any better or worse years?

Yeah, and I'm going to sell the Ducatis and buy a Katana 750. I sure miss that big red blob.

It was a statement about the switch to GSX-R. I have no idea what it takes to run low 40's at Barber.

When I was 16 I really wanted one of those big red blobs.

I'm going to try to trade the RC45 straight up for a Ruckus today, too. I might have to add some cash to sweeten the deal, though.

Sheep, if you want to spend money to go faster, go to more track schools instead of spending the $$$ on hardware. I thought you had the RC pretty well sorted, with better suspension, wheels, etc.

Been to Schwantz and Bargy. Going back to Bargy in May but at Baa-rber this time. As to sorted on a scale of 1 to Abtech mine is probably a 5. Still need to get the rear setup. Of course if I got a Gixxer there would be even more goodies available. I could even make it a Mladin replica

Honda has 3.9%/4.9% on new bikes. Why don't you get a new 600RR or 1000RR?

He's not serious. Besides the fact that a 600 is likely to be faster at Barber than a literbike, there are no stuffed animal attachment points on a Suzuki. He's already got a 1000rr, so if he wanted to play tracksmack with that, he would.

But it is a Suzuki so it would be about appearance more so than performance. I could probably save on gear a bit also
