I'm a sucker for exotic bikes and the TZR will bankrupt me. I'm not worried about buying superbikes...but this screamer has me nibbling fingernails everytime I think about it. It is also more likely to get me arrested or killed. I am sure it will thrill me in ways that a superbike can only dream. It scares me...

Sort of like the time I got my 200 miles on the saddle of a '05 Zx-10R. The axe-murderer attitude of this bike turned me into a whimpering nubbin. I wanted to find a womb and hide in it after that ride. My mind tells me that riding the TZR around the track will be a similar experience...and that is a prospect I find incredibly hard to turn my back on. I thought of selling it because of a few attractive offers but that was pretty much the end of it...

As far as "GS" is concerned - nothing is certain until the curtain drops and you will find me looking up slick-tire options for the TZR on the internet if you happened upon me in the office right now

Another step forward in the TZR chronicles...

Rajkumar11 (Raju) has completed the custom chambers for my bike last week. These are inspired by FIII chambers with a custom touch from his side considering my requirements as well. Here is a short video of the bike running the new pipes:

The bike has a new gas-tank and a half-fairing is going on it today for the initial testing.

Phew...a LONG wait but the results are going to be awesome!

Almost a year since my last update to this thread. Looks the Teezer chronicles are slowly winding to a close. The restoration job took a lot longer than I expected and I gave up about a year back and forgot that I even had a TZR. Eventually though things got a move along and the bike is now almost complete. All that is missing now are mirrors, rear indicators and a windscreen bubble.

Some pics for you:

Well put dude....loved your post on the TZR ! loved every pic of the bike and yes, maybe next time, I'd like to see this bike in the flesh !

The bikes looking great GS. You are one lucky fellow.

Soon...very soon. The bubble should be ready this week. I want to ride the bike around the track and get a few RTO formalities sorted out first. There is also a possibility of me relocating to Bangalore so the final destination of all my rides is still a question mark

I guess so but you guys are lucky in that case because I am the first person to handover the keys to anyone I trust/know well. If you are in town and want to check out the bikes do let me know.

Sure! Arun will be back on this 5th. you can call him/me anytime after that or else we'll give you a call.

Where is the bike currently?

I read it now, and felt like I've been left in the middle of the climax..

That video is Awesome!
The way it revs.. Its just
