  6. This is literally the stuff I dream about. Only difference is that I can only dream, while these guys are actually doing something!
    BRAVO!

  8. This is amazing stuff. Like @bradders I'd love to have a 140kg race bike, so much better than hauling around a big lardy 200kg road bike.

  10. I quite often think about stripping my gsxr down with carbon fairings, light weigh loom ECT ECT.

  13. The biggest change you can do and feel is if you change the wheels for lighters units

  14. @El Vikingo Tropical funnily enough I've got a set of oz piegas on order for it. They cost more than I paid for the bike though! :D

  16. Yep - biggest difference was adding Marchesini's to my z1000 - I'm half a mind to go up again to CF Dymags...

  17. At the first corners you will have the sensation falling in side the corner as you are use to make a lot of force to corner that with with the light wheels is not necessary any longer:)

  20. The fuel tank is being made of 1mm aluminium, it’s not the most easy thing to weld that thin material
