Curious to see what my beloved VTR will look like when it has received the missing part of the carbon treatment, I messed around with Paint and got this:

Kind of stealthy.... me likey

Mik, that is/will be one seriously well sorted bike.........

well, the goal is to have it at 400 lbs wet (with a significant drop in unsprung/rotating weight), with 125+ rwhp and 80 lb-ft..... and, of course, well sorted suspension and brakes that will cause your eye balls to slam into the helmet visor...... am not far off now, but the carbon wheels and CMC rotors will get me there...... looking forward to spring.....

next you'll need to speak to mike tanski in wales, he bought the mario navas moulds, and he'll be making c/f bodywork in the future, he's even thinking of making a c/f fuel tank cover, so you'll be able to have the complete c/f look.....

Not sure I'll ever get that far unless I win a lottery....... postage fees alone would require I get 2 additional jobs.......

Impressive Micky

I'm looking forward to spring as well, to see how your reworked carbs perform
