...besides, the 749 was really heavy

That's the trouble with the small SBK's, really it's only the crank, cylinders, pistons, heads that are different, at the most.
So it'd be just a teeny bit lighter than a 999.

If you're tracking it, mileage isn't going to be too big an issue.
You're using it much harder than on the street, which is a bit rough.
WTF, just called you...

@Embyr:  Thanks!  waytogo I think I either need to just blow some crap outta the carb, or replace the main jet.  I'll have to take it apart to see.   Undecided

@duc750:  Hey Bro! Long time, no see. Whatcha been up to?  The bike is a bit smaller than the monster, so I look kinda large on it.  It's a 2-smoker and top speed is only about 75.  Yesterday I was hanging with a coupla 450 supermotos in the corners, but they would just leave me in the dust through the carousel section and coming onto the main straight. 

It's more fun than my Monster on the track, and you have to be really precise with your braking and shifting.  Can't just power out of a corner in any gear like you can with the Duc.

Let's ride soon!    [moto]

i had a pair of those when i was in texas... they're an absolute blast, but it can be a pain to find parts if/when you need 'em.

Thanks for the link derby.   waytogo chug [moto]

This thing is a blast!  A bunch of my friends did a 24 hour race at Willow Springs last weekend on their ysr50s and nsr50s. They took first in their class and third overall!  Pretty pregnant dogin'.   bow down
