I have never riden one, dont really like the way they look, but having said that, each to their own, im not knocking you, just saying that if you took an extended bike to the track/twistys and the same rider was riding both, the standard bike would be quicker through the track/ twistys :)

As long as we all have pride in our rides that all that matters :)

i know what you are saying it just feels alot better than a standard bike if you ever heard of tail of the dragon (deals gap) the curvest road in the USA i can run it around 60 mph and close to 70 on a clear day not much traffic there is video of me doing it on you tube on this same bike this is now march were is the voteing polls for the feb ROM

Yep, i meant that, if your hard bnaked over to the right, that must be very very hard to change gear ?

[Jester]

that's some serious lean forward

[wadkins]

if you are talking about i change gears leaned over that far that is were the electronic shifter comes in and i dragg my foot mostly all the way thru the gap but i usally stay in second gear going thro the gap to there is no way possible to go thru there running 90 to 100 mph dont care who you are

[Spliffyaid]

I dont road ride, i dont drag my feet either (knees is a different matter ;) ) I did race for 3 years and all i was pointing out is that i wouldnt be able to change gear with that angle on your gear change, electronic shifter or not, all a shifter does is cut the revs for a fraction of a second to allow you to change up without the clutch.

I tend to ride on the balls of my feet, if i need to change gear, slide it forward a bit and give it a tap

Guys... i think Spliffyaid was refering to the shifter angle on Nemsis' bike not yours wadkins... and by the way to all of you... Very nice rides, i like all the customizations and the pride you all take in your bikes!!!!

[Spliffyaid]

Er, yep i was?

[wadkins]

well i just cleared it up i had two people message me and asked me how i shift leaned over

Has Any One Thought About Making It Model Specific? Such As One Month Would Be 14's Then 12's And So On. Then All Makes Would Have A Chance. Even The 5's. Would Be Kind Of Hard To Pick A Nice 6 Aver A 20 Thousand Dollars Zx14. Plus Some Bikes Don't Have As Much After Market Support And Other Models.
