Lookin' real good there Wireman!!:)
I wanted a turbo so bad but just don't know enough about them. I probably spent as much on the engine anyway, but...maybe next time:evil:
Keep the pictures coming!:woohoo:

I like your ZX14 comment. My brother had the pleasure of holding off a charge from a ZX10 back when they were the fastest thing made. He had his 1320 kaw and even kept ahead on the corners! The guy finally pulled him over and asked him what the hell he had in that thing! He said he was shocked that that old bike was as fast as his new ninja. I love stories like that!!;)

i fear nothing in a straightline sprint except for lorcan!:S :P

go for the 17s. all the big sport bikes have either a 5.5x17 or 6x17 rim. you will get a MUCH better tire selection with the 17. for example the shinkos we were drooling over only come in a 17, as well as the MT shootout tires. MT makes a slick in 17 or 18 but I wouldnt take a corner on the street with one.

Yeah man,
17"ers are the way. As he stated: waaaaaay more serious tire selection and the 17s will make it steer quicker (and better)...speaking from experience, 17s over 18s.

my biggest problem with the 17" front wheel is trying to find a front fender that matches the radius of the front wheel and still retains a z1/kz look to it.;)
