Sexy NZ Streetfighter

[skelstar]

Saw this bike at the Nats round at Manfeild today. Damn its a friggin sexy looking bike (more so in the flesh). Its Yamaha, maybe 2005 R1? (at least the motor and tail light are)...didnt talk to the owner, but sneakily took some photos.

Notes:

1. Its sexy...and strangely clean.
2. It was outside the Pirelli pits I think.
3. The front indicators were SMD LEDs heatshrunk into a tube and wrapped around the front forks. BLOODY COOL IDEA. Might have a stab at making some of my own. I'll call it inspiration (some call it plagiarism).
4. The rear indicators are missing, presumed integrated into the taillight.
5. Its sexy...oh. Said that.
6. Bar end mirrors...made the look without being obvious. Bar a nice gold, but looked quite over-sized in diameter.
7. Exhaust had two side-exits. One each side.
8. Headlights, sexy, were Hella units, and I have seen them in a catalogue before.
9. CF bits around about. Steering damper...

Anyone know anymore than this?

Friggin sexy.

Seat, engine and radiator say R1 to me.
Pretty nifty. Haven't seen one done to that extent.

[N4CR]

yeah it was at paeroa it's an r1 from memory, wasn't parked with us up at the nz streetfighter club (nzstreetfighters.com) if you want i'll ask on their forums and see if it's one of ours.

[skelstar]

It also had "Scorpio" on the tank. The tank/radiator fairing was quite custom looking...but very tidy.

Bingo: http://www.streetfighters.com.au/ASF_gal_yam.asp (first bike).


"It's an '04 R1 bought with 1,300ks and was a write off. Have taken a year and a half to get to this stage but still lots of work to be done. Have made it road legal as it's better on the road than in the shed collecting dust"

[betti]

Big kudos to Darren!

It's very cool man, do you make your own bodywork? I've got a stunt bike being built by a local bike shop, but I'd quite like for it to be made legal and functional as a stunta, so it will need some fancy body work to fashion a tail section.

[kiwifruit]

wow! thats a piece of art slamdog

[BarBender]

Yep - that is a sweet looking bike.
Well done on the work put into it.

[Mr. Peanut]

thanx Oarbreaka. the indicators are very bright and easy to see as they are right around the top of the forks so they can be seen from all angles, but they are not dot approved, so at wof time I chuck on some that are approved.

[CM2005]

Sexy package?

When I get my engine fixed I'm gonna get you to have a look at the tail on my FZR and see if there's anything we can do to make it look pretty :p

Thanx mate, but I will have to take a rain check on that as my bike is in bites at the mo, she should be back together next week as I an going to have a play in the F1 class at Mansfield on the 18th for a laugh.
But if you go for a ride after that let me know and I should be able to tag along.

Well, I just found out that the 1990 FZR400 (model 3TJ) has the same engine etc as my 87 FZR400 (model 2TK), and they have a 3TJ FZR400 at Bike Busters in Ngaruawahia, so I'm gonna head up there tomorrow and see how much I can get the necessary parts for...


My biggest concern at the moment is how I'm gonna remove the damn flywheel bolt (my one is half-ground off)....
