'99... I may be a bit biased... & this ZRX breaks the $$$ limit

SRAD 750

[Supermofo]

99 R6. But then I think it's been mentioned many times now that they are all knackered.
So an SRAD 750 I reckon. Or for uber cool points ZX7 in some kind of poorly done WSB tribute.

Yeah, but I could fit a plywood dash to the Thundercat like my idol DaveN!

That bike was hilarious. I wonder if it still lives...

I'm still amazed @Alan PBTD let him out on track. I still recall doing some laps and me and someone else were outbraking eachother into the hairpin, then Daven comes up the inside "he's not making that"... Obviously he never.... but next lap, the same happened.... he still never made the corner..

Chatting in the pits "oh, i had no brakes as the lever was coming back to the bar, it wasn't deliberate"

Very very daven

The old zx9r I owned twice and went on to be owned by several TRCers afterwards. That thing was bonkers fast and the brakes were surprisingly good after a strip and rebuild.
I replaced it with an R1 which felt like a 600 in comparison.. and not just in stature.

I'd rather a carbed R6 these days though, not particularly fast but very stable and flickable for having them all on the brakes

[KungFooBob]

I have very fond mamories of the R6 I bought brand new in 1999. However, I believe all the carb ones are now totally fucked.

The cylinder plating destroyed on them all.

When I traded mine in after three years and 26,000 miles it was using a litre of oil every hundred miles.
