    140hp GSXR600???

    Maybe I should've put this in the Jokes and Humour section. OK so it's quiet at work and I was scanning trademe when I came across this weapon! 140bhp (approx) from a paintjob and blueprint! Guy is a dreamer.

    That looks like a large flat area in the centre. Is this off of "The Flinstones"... their tyres were the same shape!

    It used to belong to Ricky Mckay (KB Member) was a Corona replica Ricky painted up after a minor spill.
    He did a few trackdays/clubmans I think, Ricky rode it hard and wouldn't have had that amount of chicken strip on them.....
    Lots of nice goodies on it, but no way its 140hp.

    Fella would have got more positive interest if he'd gone and got someone who knows about bikes to write the description. Now the poor sod is gonna have loads of KBers laughing down the 'phone at him.

    Not saying I know shit but I would at least have got someoune who did.

    As far as I know it has higher compression and a Yoshi full system......doesn't add up to 140hp!!!! Supersport bikes of the era would be hard pressed to get that!

    Maybe he's on about HP at the crank? Which seems to be what counts according to all the bike manufacturers

    Despite his outrageous HP claims it's still a pretty tasty looking machine. Still, since when were most people on tardme as well educated and thoughtful as most KB members?

    my bike topped out at 287kph at the red line, on the back of puke. And that 287 was 'indicated', so not actual.. 300kph is for the big boys only.. unless it's had it's gearing played with, but then it'd need a longer run up than Puke's straight, and a air-tow behind a thou

    Are you sure? The question mark suggests not. 300km/h is a decent go for a std thou, let alone a 600 with blueprinted engine, high comp, and yoshi system.
