OP, thats very nice.

However, I do think maybe if you added a power bulge to the bonnet, it would be a bit more manly =)

I know, not very subtle. The old one flew off at Anglesey, together with the nose cone and I ran over it. This one does just cover the air filters so does keep it a bit quieter. They stuck through the old one!

8,

class picture. I bet road humps are a right laugh =)

Come on then, what times are you setting round Cadwell? I've only run up to an R300 on CR500's, but my "mates lap record" is set at 1.28 in a superlight R on ACB10's..

Yours will be what, 1.15?

Top motor - just looook at it. Kawasaki green (or similar) paint works a treat!
Can't even imagine what's it like to let it loose on the road...wow

Thankyou for the comments. I have never really timed it accelaration or lap times. It was set up a while ago by Gelscoe Motorsport at Donnington and they lapped the circuit in 1 min 14, they reckon it would do a 1 11 but the brake bias was not quite right and was locking the rears a bit too much. It is Kawasaki green, really like the colour. It has also been white, white and yellow, pearl orange then green. I have used the colour as a theme for my company logo for my trackday company that I have just set up, Apex Trackdays. Please watch out for it Shameless plug!!
