Ahh, now it's making sense. I've got a big bore GSXR too. A Bandit 1200S. It's got the old oil/air cooled GSXR engine in it.
I said that once - the faster part, not the safer part - and someone told me to be quiet before I embarrassed myself further. They were right. I have a 1200cc bike that wheelies on demand, 10 years old but off the factory floor did 10.5 second quarter miles and 0-100 in 3.1 seconds. Can your GTR do that? What if I put a pipe and dyno jet kit on adding another 20% more power? I was out on a group ride the other day on this bike and compared to some of the bikes there I felt positively slow. Full noise forwards and R1's, GSXR 1000's cruise past me like I'm on my way to church.
That said, you are smart in that you know you can't save yourself ON the bike so you take yourself OFF it. Well done.
Chris, I don't see you posting in the event I posted for us? Get to it!
