Road America GSXR 1000

Cool vid from a bud of mine. He has a sponsorship deal with a Traqmate dealer and they put together a cool vid with the GPS speedo overlay. It is pretty impressive what a lightly modified literbike can do these days
enjoy

The new Gixxer 1000 is my dream bike! If only I could convince my insurance broker of the extra safety margin a 182hp motorcycle delivers.

I don't what Ron's current bike is putting down. I know another buddy had a 05 AMA superstock bike that was good for 193 at the wheel and weighed under 400.
The other remarkable thing is they do not cost all that much. The M4 team has their 07 AMA GSXR 1000's with fresh motors FS for $16,000

When I bought my 94 RF600R, it scared me the first time I unleashed all 100 of its horses... now I crave more. It's all relative.

The black spot is the sun. I've got equally gripping in-car video of me spinning a 944 at a local autocross, and the sun shows up as a black spot too.

What's that digital readout in the lower right of the screen indicating?


edit: I figured it out. It's cojones per hour.

No, wait. It's the NORRIS METER.

This is what my pants would look like after I finished doing a few laps at 170+ on two wheels......matter of fact, that's what my pants would look like after doing a few laps at 170+ on four wheels!
