Witnessed these first hand and how quick they can be,

Seen a few that could kill me and my gsxr600 on the quartermile with ease.

Nice. Looks well in white. Plans?

My next job is to do away with the exhaust valve/flap thing. It's far too quiet. That will have to do till I can spank 550quid on a yoshi can


levers, screen, exhaust and seat cowl...

bits ordered already


What can you gone for?

Inwill always love tuned scooters but the problem is at the end of the day they're still a scooter.

You can get your knee down on a gsxr haha

It's all down to perception.. My TZR125 YVPS 'felt-fast' but it wasn't..

Even my first 'big bike' which was just a big old gay GS500E could piss all over even the most lairy 125 2-strokes that were about.

Look at it, in all of its 90's glory:



I had this in 2001/2 IIRC


I thought I was the fucking bollocks

I said it could carry the same speed, which is true.... I didnt once say it would perform as well in any other area

Tbh I couldn't say I paid much attention to top end as it never came out of 3rd but it had bollocks.

Think it's was only 25 or so hp at the crank but it used it well

yeah



website says

The Fireblade already runs impeccably, but with the Taylormade Exhaust fitted and performance optimised with a Power Commander, you could expect up to +6bhp at the top end. But the use of a Power Commander is optional on the Fireblade; you will still experience power gains throughout the mid-range and top end, even without the Power Commander fitted

so probably wouldnt bother with the map

Before you do that, whip the seat off and disconnect the exhaust flap servo. Bottom end is affected just by that so a map is definitely needed for an exhaust on them. Yoshi can for me when funds allow
