True dat, only you cant buy a Ten Kate over the counter! I was thinking back to 'homologation' specials past and came up with ZX7RR, YZFR7, RC30-45-51, OWO1, ZX6RR, But nothing Suzuki. What am I missing? Did H-D sell any streetable VR1000s?

Course you could just buy the new BMW with the same amount of power for the same price or less...

Yeah it's a damn sexy looking bike....... in race trim. Street trim is looks like a lazy eyed down syndrome child.

without knowing any cam specifics i chose to be conservative in my estimate. With those parts i wouldnt be at all surprised to see 200. hey smileyman, im pretty sure they did. Seen one with lights on ebay a while back in the six figure range

its all bullshit till they start hitting third party dynos. Yammy still claims 180 for the new r1 which is hilariously optimistic

Why all the Buell talk?

Suzuki isn't selling this bike, Yosh is.

There was an R1 similar to this a few years back but I can't for the life of me remember the builder. Anyone have any idea of what I am talking about? :scratch:

Was it Graves by chance? I'm just guessing, I don't know for sure.

No, that was my first thought too.

IIRC, it was a company that was a guy's name (like Roland Sands but not).

Apparently he is big in the R1 world and is a well known racer but I hadn't heard of him before his special $30k R1 came out.

It's driving me nuts.
