Value of a performance build

Something to keep in mind about building a performance KZ for the street is....DON'T OVER DO IT.

definately ,a 6500-10,000 rpm motor is of very little use in a streetbike

it will be great to have some motor work done at some point.... but the guy who i rode with growing up and who could fix/or ride anything...used to say the same thing....when you can ride a good stock motor around well you are way ahead of the game and can get down the road just fine... he would love to point pout bikes that came in the shop all built....not running....or bad handeling upgraded bikes...he called em turd punchers...and would snicker.....dont get mad at me for passing on his opinion...we got a ton of 2004-2008 liter/sportbikes around here popping/sputtering down the road cuase they were worked on...stock they were more than enough for these posers to handle.....
some old stock kz have 80,000 miles on em...you think japan can build a better motor or some back road, metal shed ,...toothless wonder....with bad feedback from his builds??????

Here is a bike that looks really nice and all original paint and some nice extra parts on it. The guy is asking around 45 for it.

Forks have been polished and the spoke machine marks have been sanded off with z1r rotors added.

forget the ltd clone,whats the nice looking wire rear wheel in the background connected too?

You mean this little number? It has some really nice parts, especially the old yosh pipe which I would give my left testi to have on my bike.

That's Cro Dog's bike on the right and on the left that bike belongs to Yianni. He has had that for years. The bike has 85k on the clock on the original engine! He told me he used to beat the piss outta that bike. Just goes to show that if you change the oil religiously and ride it like a redheaded step child gets beat then you won't ever have to worry about maintenance:P
But seriously that is a nice bike and everyone drools on it when they see it. He has a thick front end that costs around five grand he is getting ready to put on it. He just needs to machine or fabricate the trees to fit it. I saw it. Looks the business and made me dream about doing mine in that fashion.

Where is the Yosh pipe? Am I missing something here? Or is it hidden on the second bike?
