None of the ZX10 either. Or the R1.

i heard you mention rc51 front end. were you kidding? or serious? going to look now.

ND4SPD · 12-09-2003, 4:48 PM

There was one on .net with all kinds of smoke behind the bike. I didn't notice anything too different about it

yup that's the one. not much different? nice pic except for the smoke and oil..............

additionally on the rear view of the same machine, i really like the quick release exhaust hanger. the aftermarket exhaust manufacturers should take note.

ccwilli3 · 12-09-2003, 5:01 PM

oh yeah, look at that front end! yep, that be da one!

So does this mean that we can add the inverted forks and radial brakes to our street bikes?

Obviously it's not inexpensive, but if it can be done it's pimp

must be real nice when $ is no object. the boys on 600rr.net are drooling i'm sure.

i get so tired of that place.

Yeah, different triples, calipers/rotors, etc... I'd really like a RR with R/T forks... Standard nissin calipers are fine by me...

Some guy bought a Magical Racing windscreen the other day. Aren't those like $200?! It's a windscreen for Pete's sake.

To each their own I guess

the 600rr turns so incredibly fast the way it is. i cannot imagine how it would turn with the front end dropped (as in that pic, and I assume he is braking also) and the a$$ end jacked up.

I think they had problems with the set-up though:

from roadracingworld.com
"In his limited time on the bike, Duhamel and Crew Chief Al Ludington learned that 16.5-inch Superbike slicks upset the Supersport geometry of the bike.

Today Duhamel’s bike has different geometry, a different front end and a different specification engine. So far, Duhamel said, he is impressed with the braking ability of the light bike with Superbike brakes, forks and tires more than its acceleration."

I had a magical racing CF hugger on my RC, $250+ I think. There's no shame there... Gotta dress the girl up to take her out ya know?!

I do know that the triples are at a different angle, so it does affect the trail/rake, etc... Those forks are likely longer too, so extra hanging out the top might mean little...

I rode jetblast10's 600RR and he had a penske rear and I assume some additional ride height, I still thought it could be a bit quicker.
