Happy new year all ..

Over the last year the itch has been growing and it’s now at the point where I’ve not been able to resist it any longer .
It won’t be a road bike as the insurance will kill me as it’s been 5 years since my last policy ran out and I’ve lost all my no claims bonus .
So a trackday bike build again ! Sadly not a VTR but a cbr900rr .
I’m off tomorrow morning to have a butchers at one .
All being well ill be on the track next year , that’s if we ever get out of lock down .
I’ll start a thread for it once I have it in my garage and make a start .

As long as you're riding, it really doesn't matter what it is :beer:

Nice one Lloydie, plenty of weight saving opportunities there! What are your first mods likely to be?

Think the very first job will be removing all the anodised tat .
It already has 17” front and braided lines.
Nitron rear shock , ketch forks so it’s already off to a good start
My shopping list is growing .
I want a full s/s 4-2-1 exhaust system .
Race rear sets
Race body work
Paint
That’s the big bits and as you know the little bits and finishing touches are the main bulk of a build
As long as I stay working it’ll be ready for next summer (2022)
