I would sell you my 2011 GSXR 600 that I have a ton of money into it. It's setup for superstock for $12k. I've got all the stock pieces off the bike also. Then I would go buy myself a new R1 and start all over lol
The gent who sold me his ZX6RR bought a 675 and loves it. Who says Triumph doesn't make a liter bike. The Speed Triple is 1050CC. That engine is in my tiger 1050, the last reported mileage was 175k miles from a forum member. A stator, clutch only engine parts replaced. Yes it does NOT like to be abused above the rev limiter, forget which racer kept blowing engines because he tried to run the RPM's he was used to on his jap bike, once he figured it out won many races and liked the bike. My biggest learning curve has been getting used to the NEW to me rev range. I think the engine is ready to be up shifted, I look down and I'm at 9,500 rpm, yes my Tigers rev limit but at the sweet spot for the Ninja. The torque is fantastic on triples, but it's a whole new animal. If you can adjust to the change the 675 is a great engine. Take a test ride, then decide.
Thanks everyone for the replys. I think I'm going to go a completely different direction and go for a new R1 lol just have to do my research and see how much money I'd have to put into one to get it to where I want it meaning suspension and such. Anyone have any experience with how good the stock stuff is on them?
New,, just about all have suspension setup for a average Japanese weight. So if your 160 give or take some your all set. If your 245 like me, springs will be in order. Also all tend to see improvements from new valves. Just read they stiffened the springs on the 900 by 86% if that gives you any idea. Getting a NEW bike for track riding is something I would only see for a super dedicated track rider or for those who have lot's of disposible income. http://www.r1messagenet.com/forums/3-r1-general/435-stock-suspension-settings.html Not to mention, a liter bike is a big first track bike.
This is This is my third track bike I've had. I've had nothing but liter bikes as track bikes and street bikes
