The life of your tyres.

[DEATH_INC.]

Death it sounds like You need some Special KY Rubber... the shit i use, my Turbo gets typical mileage outta tyres, i mean christ the blimmin thing is nowhere near as powerful as these big modern 1000's and they run rock hard crossply tyres! Sport Demons are definatly going on mine when shes finished.

My Turbo runs on RS1 or 2 rennsports mostly (radial rims....have a look at my profile pic...) and makes approx 200hp @ rear wheel........

Bikes got 6200km on it and on its 3rd set.

Pirreli Super Corsa SC1 front and SC2 rear.

No good in the wet!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yikes! Is it a straight line monster good only for quarter miles, or does it go around corners too?

Damm!! That must surprise a lot of newer sports bikes that probably think it'll be easy prey !!

What 1/4 time have you done on it ??

[DEATH_INC.]

It runs in both standard height (handles better than the ZX12 did) and lowered for drag racing,I've only managed a 10.7 on a very slippery track and with a slipping clutch.Its so bloody powerful it's a handful to launch properly(but very entertaining according to my mates that have seen me run)....But I'm working on a way to make it easier......

good stuff death inc! sounds wicked, old gleason ran 10.72 on a stocker apparently if i am right, have you heard about that one?. crazy time. Well i know mine wont get any punishment like that (although i wish i could) someones gotta have a minter for shows just taking ages to get there.

Yeh,cycle world or someone (it was a long time ago....)managed a 10.8 way back when they were new....
The Yanks always seem to run real fast times compared to the rest of us....we've had a big discussion on this on the Gixx site.....they've got plenty of video footage to back up some of their times (on gixxers)Some of the guys are running low 10's on stock 600's.....the best I ever got out of the ZX12 was 10.5!
My mission is to get mine into the 9's.....if I can get the launch sorted it should be easy.....

Some tracks favour some bikes. I've done a 10.58 on my poor 600 which is pretty spectacular.

Hey Death. Just checked out your profile. Love the GPZ but imagine my supprise on seeing the Gixxer! Have you just bought that recently?

I think it used to belong to a mate of mine. If it is, you couldn't of got a better bike. He never let me ride that one

[Kwaka-Kid]

hahaa WT, if i was your mate by the sounds of things i wouldnt either! :P Mind you, i bet there are alot of people that say that about me, but prolly not because i am at all fast or loose, just have toruble mastering the basics of keeping bikes upright and maintained.

[Hitcher]

Just checking out the bike while covering it up after its days outing and I would say that 15,000km appears to be enough for the front 020. Hi ho hi ho it's off to Motorad I go...

[Lou Girardin]

!0,000 out of a rear Avon AV46ST, probably had another 1000 in it. I've done 5000 on the new Avon (3000 touring) and it's nowhere near 1/2 worn, at that rate I'll get 12,000.

Yeh,got it about a month or so ago......Is your mate a cop?Did he get it from Bay city?Dunno about a good bike though...The first owner was a bit hard on it......

[White trash]

Nah, he's not a cop. He traded it at Holeshots on a K3.

I'm sure it's the same bike though.

[DEATH_INC.]

Yeh,that'll be it then....that's where I got it from.....
You're right it's a great bike,that's why I got it back.....I've bought it twice now from holeshots ....I bought it new back in '00,kept it a couple of years then traded it at bay city for a ZX12,some guy bought it,had it for a while and traded it back to bay city on a ZX12 too!(he must have been the cop Andy said owned it...)then your mate must have got it.My mate spied it in holshots and told me so I went for a look and the rest is history
The only thing is that I've sold all the good bits I had on it before
