D VTR RIDER

Uchi
I saw previous post of yours mentioning Mosport. The back straight there should be long enough to see what the GXR is made of. You should see 280 kph. Don't forget to break for turn 8.
This should easily get you down in the 135 seconds range. Good luck with the new ride.

uchi

oh for sure man, the front isnt bad and has a bit of adjustment left in it, but it feels good, still ill have it set up properly. the shock feels a little soft but john has a stiffer ohlins spring so were gonna do a trade once i find someone who can yank the spring off both shocks. also my wife is an xray and cat scan tech so ive got that taken care of

uchi

thanks bud, thats a hell of a stretch, i may try to get out there at the end of the season once i get this thing set up for me best not to think of how fast i can get going down the back stretch, lol.

just uploading a bunch of pictures, it wont be 56k friendly

uchi

here you go, shes a little dirty because i got caught in the rain yesterday taking a friend for a ride. which sucks because i spent a while buffing and polishing it before hand.
enjoy






































and an hdr i made

Very nice! Be careful with that gp style shifter. A brainfart could end in disaster.

uchi

thanks, and yeah it takes some getting used to for sure. i banged it into first at the top of second first time on the bike. put the slipper clutch to work. it works. lol. i was under the impression it was returned to regular shift before i rode it, so i started it in second and then went for first with an up click. wtf came to mind, and where are the other 5 gears. lol

I hate to ruin this for you, but I just rocked out a 1974 Honda XL250. It was awesome. I am also looking forward to my future vintage bike, cb350four. I would rather have both of these then one gsxr, even two.

"As for next year the goal is 200 whp. Figure that's enough to out run everything i come across and still tame enough where i won't kill myself. Lol"

200 horse on a motorbike "tame" thats an interesting concept!!!


looks like one hellava bike though!! take care on public roads!

uchi

the one i rode made just over 200, it was a handful but wasnt bad to the point where it wasnt fun to ride, because it really was. figure you gotta have fun in life because you only do it once. and just for the record, if i end up become a veggie or a non walker i want one of you guys to come and throw me off a bridge, a big bridge, i dont wanna drown in the river below. lol.

uchi

to each their own. i originally wanted another honda, a cbr 1k would have been ideal. but this deal came up and i couldnt pass it up. the bike cot right around 35 grand to build when it was built so id be stupid to pass up on the deal i got it for. came with a full set of track plastics too so itll make a great track bike once i get it out later in the year
this is a great bike, yeah the gixxers are common and a dime a dozen, which means theyre cheaper to fix and easier to find parts for which is always a bonus.

If you don't mind, could you tell me how that shifter works? I seriously have no idea.

uchi

Its reverse of what the bike comes with. So first gear is up the rest are down. Takes some getting used to.

Turbo track bike?

You're just plain silly...

nath981

awesome bike uchi. It's wonderful that there are people who put all this money and work into creating a masterpiece like this and then just give it away relatively. You won one. congrats!

Uchi, It's time to change your sig.

uchi

bringing this up from the dead, nath i got lucky on this purchase for sure. the bike is great, has been great to me and is just a joy to get out and blast around on. now that the suspension is set up for me its un like any factory bike ive ever ridden. and she pulls like stink no complaints there

turbo is still sitting in a box in my garage im still on the fence about it. ill need to go with a pcv with autotune if i do that and thats 500 bucks im not sure i want to part with just yet. it would be a low 4-5 psi set up, maybe 180-190 at the back wheel which would make this thing a missile, still on the fence about that, didnt do much work over the winter due to my leg being broken, see what time brings

Nice, sounds sick, I'm thinking about getting a triumph speed triple my self, I'm not a big fan of rockets

uchi

the triples are nice, a buddy has a 675 daytona and theyre a nice sounding bike, power is decent too. i wouldnt mind a street triple as a second bike just to ride to work and mess around on

nath981

glad to hear you're getting out and about uch, and yea, i know that beast runs and handles myriads better than the old hawk. Just the lighter weight and ohlins is magic enough, then add all those horses and now we're really having fun. enjoy boy! Like they say, "break a leg" ha.
