Belonged gixxer.com until they started charging to get full access. Own a buell firebolt 1200, gsxr1000 and highly modded performance sportster. Selling most off to pay for the Z, after riding and racing bikes for 35yrs. its getting quite boring, Time to speed in comfort/style once again, helmet head and eating bugs, freezing and rain isn't bad in your 20's. But when your in your 50's it just plain sucks.

Fortunately I never took delivery of the vette, also found out the vettes run great till about 30-40k and start to develope engine and other problems. Just another reason not to buy american made cars.

I agree with that to the fullest. Coming from owning a Camero (flat out junk) and my dad owning a Vette. The Vette is not bad at all but something is different after 50K miles.

The sound alone makes it worth it.

I would do it again regardless of HP gain.
I did CBE too. Get at least one for HP gain. Combined their is a diminishing HP return. Still the sound makes it worth it each time I give it gas.
Zero regrets.

Yeah, different site since Brian sold it. Not over there too much anymore. Nice list of bikes. I hear you about the rain, but out here we have too many nice places & weather to ride so it never gets boring. Been on bikes for 30 years myself.


Well enjoy the Z, I sure am
