Bit the bullet and bought a track bike today. Trackday numero uno is weekend after next, and so I’ll get the Superhawk out to get warmed up and in the groove, then bring out the new track-only weapon to try and go seriously fast. Entirely different animal than the 996 V-twin Superhawk though.
2001 CBR600F4i:
I’ll probably end up losing the Ohlins damper, as I prefer the dual settings available on the Scotts damper on the Superhawk, and can switch back and forth when I’m doing trackdays with just two bolts. The CBR is completely set up for the track, to include a lap timer, PowerCommander, Brembo front master cylinder, Woodcraft rearsets, fiberglass bodywork, Double Bubble windscreen, tank grip pads, frame sliders, swingarm spools, EBC race brake pads, and an Ohlins remote reservoir rear shock. For the “non-bike-geek” amongst you, that means “pimped out”. Should be a real runner.
Inside the cockpit:
What this also means, is that I’ve given up any claim on the Ducati being ‘our’ bike, and it’s now “Amanda’s Monster”. Such is life. T-minus 9 days until the trackday, it’s all good.
In other “new hotness” news, I finally got the lower rail to complete the Knight’s Armament quad-rail (I had the 3-rail upper already) for my M-4gery. Here she is, all decked out:
