Kick's right - learn to ride it to it's max first. FZR's can be a bit peaky depending on what's been done to them...I can give you as much peak power with a better midrange if it's necessary but until you've had more time on it, don't bother.

Dude, pot - kettle........

I thought your times were ok for Taupo.... until I just watched that video a page back.........

The chichane at turns 9/10 was gone - so you could straight line it, and the end of the drag strip chicane was the fast esses - no big tyre bundle in the way........

Ya should've been 4 seconds faster............

definitely, I think the bike can get around plenty quicker as it is, even without new tyres its got plenty more to give. Heaps still to learn.

hehe, i was a bit erratic n rough on our first couple of laps.. despite the wheels, airbox and oil tray coming loose the bike felt mint with you on the chair.. probably why I forgot to give you a moment to get used to the bike and just started throwin it around as soon as we were on the track! oops

next time I'll be more onto it.

Has it had any motor work done since you had it or recently before you got it? (Warwick, you'd probably know more from before this guy got it).

I ask because the shit box we rode that was GSXR1100 powered, monstered your bike everywhere that throttle was applied, so there might actually be some power hiding there.
