Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

You'll have balls of fun with the motard style racing for sure. I have question about the Gixxer 600. If it was to be used as a track only bike why would DMV have to be involved? Wouldn't a simple bill of sale and whatever paperwork existed be sufficient to go race?
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

The guy I was getting it from.... bought it as a salvaged new bike in 07 and never transfered the bike into his name..... he just prepped it for the track and went racing. The dmv wanted me to pay all the back fees just to put it into my name. Every so often they check vins at the track to check for stolen bikes and I wanted everything on my end to be legal.

Sweet, have fun!


FYI re the DRZ vs RMZ, they are completely different bikes.  The RMZ is build ground-up to win MX races and is competitive on a national level in stock form. The DRZ makes slightly over half the power, revs much more slowly, much more basic suspension and chassis and weighs about 65lbs more. Its made to be a mild-mannered, low maintenance trail bike.  Both great machines, just really different.

If you've never ridden a 450cc MX bike its something to experience.  The power is downright violent. About the same hp as a monster 620, but weighs just over 200lbs, has very little flywheel weight and instant throttle response.  I can't go WOT in the first two gears on my CRF450R without looping :)
