you might want to upgrade your headlight fluid from halogen to Xenon while your at it.

make sure you change the liquid in the LCD display too... hate it when that shit goes out.

and don't forget to change the air in your tires... expired air robs you of thousands of HP!

SHIT! I knew there was something I was missing... gotta add that to my list... just ordered my Type R stickers... got 46 of them... I'm hope'n with those and the ultra light air I got in my tires... I should be putting down an extra 5000hp... but I may throw an ICY HOTT STUNAS sticker on too... to push it to the 7 mark...

Damn. I leave for a bit and we get one hell of a slide.

I was referring more to the engine size. I said Race Replica as in they are desgined to look like race bikes.

When I get another bike I want one with more low end pop but nothing like a Litre. A 750-800cc bike would be nice. I was curious that if enough interest was sparked maybe the manufactures would try to compete with each other in the 750-800cc class.

Oh yeah. The R7 was very limited production and I think my buddy found one here in America. They wanted only $30,000 for it. But from what I understand they were badass.

a 750 is a great street size. From what i understand... the 800cc size is tenuous at best. they wanted to slow the bikes down but now they more than make up for it by being peaky and quicker in the corners... so they may change something again.

And yeah the R7 was bad, but was comparatively weak stock. It was the race ecm and other kit parts that made it a monster! Yamaha made just enough to make it legal to race in production series. Given the chance id get one too.

Exactly that is the bike he is describing when he says 800cc race replica in my opinion. I say you get one of those I want one.
