Love those Repsol colors, they really pop. :thumbsup: Do you think the brake dust will be bad on those orange wheels?

Ha funny you say that I thought the same thing but for some reason it really only affects the back wheel but it wipes right off.

Very Nice:thumbsup: ,
Sport bikes are the crazy fun. I road raced for several years in the Midwest 'till '99. Then I had an RC51 that I turned into a track-day bike and just did a few random track days when my kids were very young.

I missed racing, so then I ran a local Supermoto series for a few years. I am on hiatus from 2-wheels for now but still have a few old bikes in the garage.

Those liter bikes are amazing, my RC51 made (I think?) 135hp at the wheel after a handful of changes, that CBR 1000 would kill my RC51, It has both more power and is a bunch lighter.

What is the rear-wheel hp on those bad-boys?

Should be at the wheel hp. After a little work on my R1 we were at 143hp...not too bad for 10 yrs ago! There's really nothing like riding one of these bikes!

Nice bike. Ride it, enjoy it, and and when you get used to the power, add a shot of juice to it. Talk about eye opening when you spray it!

I really miss my R1. Thanks to a drunk driver running a red light, the bike got totalled and I was in the hospital for a little while. Here in FL there's a "no helmet" law which I gotta say is the F'ing dumbest law. I have seen so many people and even kids die because they don't have to wear a helmet, but I have to wear a seatbelt in a F'ing car!!!! As you can see I am a little bothered by this. I always wore my helmet. I love the Repsol colors. that is an awesome bike. Have fun man.
