      Whoa...This is incredible. The bike just shoot off from 100 to 130km/hr in under 8 seconds.That's insane.

      And the video is neat. Dying to see the VBOX results. And any specific reason for the rear wheel running on spokes. How does it help?

            The only reason for the spoked wheel was so i could use R15 rubber at the track. For various reasons that wont necessarily be what i will use on road...

              This is originally an RTR160 refresh without rear disc. So we cant use the new RTR180 rear wheel coz it has the disc mount. So the rear wheel off my old Fiero 200 was used on this to accomodate the R15's rear tyre for track spec handling.

                    @The FZ has decent potential. Nothing much to brag about. Its big brother, the R15 is what I'm chasing. The RTR is ahead of the FZ in terms of potential.

                      yeah fz is a decent machine,,but it lacks de punch after it reaches 60-70kph.de engine feel stressed.r15 is a great powerful machine.it will be great if u work on fz so that it rip fast..

                            i really wish I could derive even some 0.1% sense out of this question . I am indeed taking my R15 for motogp. I guess I can beat the crap outta those crappy 125cc smokey junkies...lol .

                              I might sound stupid.. but why dont u try on GS 150 r?? its 148 kg . i dont think anyone would want to mod that to a sporty machine.. but i think u can do it with ease !. try ur magic on a real tough case like gs 150 r + we have decent torque in it i guess
