...I see your 1100cc motorcycle, and raise you 100cc.
I just bought an 1198s to throw away in turn 9 at Sears next year.

Should be 10 pounds lighter or more than my 749R. Should be about 30HP more at the rear wheel. Sweet! Congrats! What is that, like +30 HP and about same weight? |

So, the throttle goes to 11? </spinal tap> And has TC, no? Is it track-prepped already, or can you take a bunch of street stuff off and make it lighter? And half your paint job is done already!  |

Like the Spinal Tap shout-out. Yes -- it has TC. I'm not sure yet whether I'll keep it or bail on it. I'll play with it in the fall and see if I think I like it. It is not track-prepped. I assume the weight-difference will be about 10 pounds after track-prep. I'll try to find a scale to weight it. The 749R was 390 hot off the track with about 1 gallon of fuel in the tank. Good one on the paint job.  The frame is really bugging the crap out of me... but if I mess with that, it'll be down the road. Initial priorities are making this thing a fire-breathing dragon on rails. So, the throttle goes to 11? </spinal tap> And has TC, no?

Curious to see how you like the TC. You already got HP mods in mind or is it suspension mods ? |

The big mods I've got planned are below. Basically no plans for motor initially. I'm hoping I can save some dough and run the termi ECU without getting a nemesis system. That would allow me to run traction control. I'd miss out on over-rev, but we'll see how the gearing works out on the bike anyway. Chassis/suspension: New triples Revalve forks "near" flat-rate linkage for shock Revalve rear shock Respring front/rear 16.5" rims Other: Slipper clutch Motor: Set squish Set cam timing Close-ratio gearbox Curious to see how you like the TC.
