wull Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 i thought i'd share some pics of my last bike i had,it was a kawasaki zx9r c model.the b model was 215kgs dry and in 1998 they revamped it and lost 30 kgs + and ended up with the c model 9 weighing in at 183kgs dry.std they produce 143bhp at the crank and roughly 127bhp at the rear wheel.i had a full akrapovic race system fitted and the carbs set up to suit.end result was 149bhp at the crank and 136bhp at the rear wheel.i decided to do track days as i was going to kill myself on the road and on the 17th of september last year i decided to bin in at knockhill:( in the process i broke my arm and was off work for 8 weeks,what a tit!!!my initial plan was to get the bike set up over the winter and get back to track days this year but money was running out and i felt i'd be better saving up and buying a much better,faster and better handling bike for the track so i decided to sell the 9.in the mean time though i have decided to put that on the back burner and concentrate on getting a starlet,but hopefully next year i'll be back on 2 wheels and will be ripping the roads up again.for any non bikers out there the thrill you get is unbelievable,the acceleration and top speed is excellent.my 9 was pushing almost 750bhp per tonne and there i splenty bikes out there that are much faster,well on paper anyway.whats the deal with posting vids on here,i have a vid of the bike in action but i don't want to post it if its not allowed.....its not exactly sticking to the limits if you know what i mean Quote
wull Posted March 26, 2011 Author Posted March 26, 2011 this was my first proper bike after passing my test.it was great and looked the part but it cost me an absolute fortune over the period of time i had it.these pics were taken the day before it went and i only got £650 for it with a full mot and tax.absolutely gutted.it is a honda vfr400 nc30.great wee bike,was running 63bhp at the wheel,it was still speed restricted to 180kph butbecause that isn't accurate it would push 116mph according to twat nav.

Amjad Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 They look pretty nice, I went through a phase of wanting to get a bike before I got my EP and after I first rode a bike..but knew it would kill me Quote
