Post: # 1935Post Hippie459MN »

My old 1995 Honda CBR900RR will smoke my neighbors little tuner car and that thing makes like 240 hp (at the crank). Then again my bike has an D&D exhaust (Custom shortend compliments a hacksaw), 2 down up front and 4 up in the rear on the sprokets, and K&N filter. With thoes gears I lost about 5-8mph off the top but it has a hell of a time keeping the front wheel on the ground now.

As soon as the boat is finished I am getting a Kawi ZX10R for me and either a Honda F4i or a Kawi 636 for the girlfriend.

Here is a picture of the girlfriend on the CBR last fall.

Now all I have to do is finish painting it. I have all the paint and stuff. Just been to lazy to actually do it.

Hippie extend the swingarm! Launching at 8000 rpms and not having to worry about going over backwords is a rush.

No no... I got it under control. I can roll on the clutch and keep the front wheel in the ground. Problem is, I love the wheelies to much. :D

It was load long then we cut about 6" off it and now its really loud. Really fun at night to take it up to about 5k and hit the kill switch (without letting off the throttle) for about 3 seconds then turn it back on and get about a 1-2 foot flame out the pipe and what sounds like a shot gun.
:pound: Gotta love carburetors! :D

Its not to loud when your on the bike but when someone else is on it and really winds it up it makes some noise.

Now here is a pipe that is stupid loud. I put this on a buddies 08 Kawi ZX10R in place of the factory twin under tail. Looks way better and woke the bike up big time along with everyone you drive by. I had it custom made by some guys in switzerland. Wasnt cheap but then again I wasnt the one paying for it in the end. The caps come off to so you can take the baffles out but we did that once and put em right back in. LoL

The bracket has since been trimmed and painted to match the bike.
