    Cool Fireblade X VFR

    saw this on Trademe
    I thought it was an interesting modification. Spot the difference.

    Looks kinda cool if you ask me, I wonder how hard it was to do and if he noticed any difference
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    You could just ask the ex-owner and builder orangeback.

    Not sure if it's still in Christchurch but that is where it's originally from.

    edit/ Whoops was supposed to quote Sniper. Just woken up, still half asleep.

    It gives it a longer wheelbase by 30 mm, and doesn't get head shake when you give it throttle like most blades apparently do.

    Looks like arse imo.

    Dunno, all the space under the tail section makes the wheel look small or something.

    He just made a perfectly good Fireblade heavier and more difficult to work on.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Saw a pic of a VTR Firestorm a while back that had that done to it as well. Except this bloke had also got hold of some seriously bling wheels too. And spent lots of money on suspension, etc.

    Why one would spend that much time and money on a Firestorm though, is another question

    Yum. Sanx, feel free to try this on your CBR; I know of a single-sided swinger for sale

    It's a waste of time; looks kewl, but adds unsprung weight, complexity, and less stiffness to the swingarm.
    Be OK if it was a Ducati, MV or Triumph SSSA, but the VFR one is ugly and heavy, and shouldn't be put on something sporty.

    In my opinion....
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....
