Finally Picked it Up Today (pics)

well after first puting a deposit on it last december, and paying for it last month i finally picked up the bike today, i already had them derestrict it and replace the stock can with the racing titanium unit and new eprom it sounds awsome! can't wait to take her for a spin. tomorow its supposed to be sunny and warmer so i'll go out for a couple of hours, the dash has a ton of functions including a 40 lap chronometer

oh yeah the first thing that goes is the gay reflector under the license plate











this is stamped on the pipe



planning on replacing the rear fender, front spoilers, chain guard, dash panel, and side screens with carbon fiber accessory parts.

HOLY SHIT that's sweet!!! Congrats, man! I remember you talking about that a few months back. I never did get that shifter kart and I probably won't now. I have a feeling all of my extra money will be going into the Z.

thanks, but the z will rock - you got plenty of time to get a shifter kart, i would love to ride one of those things, they are the ultimate - you might be able to pick one up used pretty cheap, the engines are easy enough to rebuild if need be

thanks everyone, i rode it for the first time today, WOW the thing rips, i'm going by the break-in and keeping it under 6000 rpm, but it pulls right off of idle, it has insane torque, plus the sound from the pipe is oh so cool

you can have your suzuk, i'll keep my exotic, i could have bought a suzuki and saved money, i wanted the next level and let me tell you that a twin is more exciting than an inline 4, the torque, lots of it from the bottom right up to redline

you might want to rethink "reliable" - 2 of my friends have new gsxr's and both have lost 2nd gear, if you want bulletproof honda is the only name that comes to mind

Sorry about my comment AcuraService.. My mistake...

I just took a quick look at it & thought it was a Japanese bike.
Looks real sharp! Best of luck & enjoy.

NICE!

A buddy of mine has a MV Agusta F4 & it looks awesome.

Those Italians know how to style vehicles.

when was the last time anyone bought a motorcycle because it was practical?!??

acura_service: congrats on the new mille. I got to see one up close last august up in bandera, tx. mighty pretty bike.

too bad I mostly saw the taillights (hey, I was between bikes and borrowing an old kawi klr650 for the trip - and the klr wasn't bad at all in the really gnarly stuff!) but I got to oogle the 'priler thoroughly during the fuel stops.
