I just logged into my Pay Pal account to check to see if a fella paid me for some old parts I sold and I see the Nupester contributed a dollar to the relief fund!



Thanks bro!!

Great job on the pic, Bake! Only shouldn't the squids have one of those red circles with a line through them?

What good is a quick change rear wheel if you have to move (or remove) the exhaust to get at it?

You've never seen an RC45 before?
Of course, that's not an RC45, but a ~90 VFR750 with RC45-styled bodywork.

The white wheels are from a 90, but the engine and frame are 91. That's actually Airtech RVF750 upper and lower (there is quite a bit of difference between the "real" RVF and the RC45 and not just the bodywork) and a 90 RC30 tail section.

Bah, close enough. (That's why I put ~90 and RC45 styled).

On a side note, I would love to have an actual RVF750R.

Me too! Unfortunately, an IOM/Suzuka TTF1 RVF circa 92 cost around 240K and as far as I know they were all destroyed after they changed the rules over to WSB specifications. From a tech article in 92 they show the OKI RVF750 at 183 HP and 304 pounds fully loaded with fuel . . .

I take it you don't like blacked out frames and swingarms? that is one of my favorite things about my Erion, especially the swingarm cause bikes look kinda funny with a black frame and aluminum swingarm. and the fact that its powdercoated as opposed to the painted black (gunmetal maybe?) of my friends 03 ZX7R is so much nicer (he's already got a scratch in it)

I wish they'd get rid of the the center ram air duct as I think it looks dumb (the older Mille R looked better without it also) but it is better performance wise and it basically is a race bike
