I was thinking stealth too. My old one was blue and white but sold that before riding it much (for a profit) It looked too much like a toy

Very nice, my friend has an 05 R6 (Blue) with a few nice goodies on there (air filter, oil filter, power commander, engine hosing, stumpy exhaust) they are ridiculously quick

It was very nice, but he sold it for a scorpion exhaust (stumpy one) when he first got it and showed me (in a carpark) he only revved it to 4g and bloody hell it was loud
He's a dodgy little bastard on it tho (plus he's only 19)
He said he's had the engine tuned on it as well (stage 2 or summin) and it's something like 0-60 3.2 (perfect launch of course)
I think he is getting an R1 after? they are too very nice bikes

no, it just has to be restricted to 33bhp. last year I had a zx600r at 18. the restriction kits are only washers behind the carbs

IIRC it's like a programmable ECU, it displays top speed and 0-60 times as well (you can see them when viewing it on a laptop)...
