Very cool... If you want to scare yourself, get yourself on board a GSXR750RR, and because it's less than 1l you might get cheaper insurance, as long as you leave the 'rr' off the end when you try and cut the deal with the insurance company! :-).I'm currently riding a warmed up FJ1100 (1250 wiseco forged pistons and C&N cams). We do a few rallies every year two up, and can't beat it for long hauls. Did 17,000 last year two up, and about another 8 one up. I'm intending to do the southern cross this year as well.. This summer I'm either going to upgrade that to a FJR1300 or buy myself another bike to do a bit of blasting.. Something like the vfr800 would suit my style, I'm not really an R1 sort of guy... :-). Do the other lug-bikers do rallies at all?Yep, the one and only :-) took an 02 for a blast on saturday, didn't really scare me unfortunately, but I hear the older 98/99 ones are a bit less refined, looking at a couple of 99's up north so have to go and see how they compare. I wasn't really planning on buying one til mid next year, but a fellow list member and bad influence is buying an '01 blade, so I had to follow suit :-). jeremyb.From: Chris HellyarR1 as in Yamaha? License removal device..... A serious blast to ride though. I'm a bit more of a tourer, dribbling over glossies of the FJR1300 currently...
