Don't list its details here... put it in the exchange and mart section.

Secondly, list it on Motoforum.net, but don't exaggerate about its capabilities, because you'll get found out straight away and it won't sell.

I'm selling for the lad that rides it, he also races a 1000 fireblade.
He's not to good with computers.
Just writing what he told me to right.
I thought it was a bit fast my self to be honest.


DO NOT keep repeating the spec of the bike, lest you'll receive spam ratings from everyone.

To be fair, now the post's been moved to the correct section (OP - please read the sections available before posting!) this is the correct place on this forum to advertise a track/race bike.

Amusingly, the only reply on motoforum is also questioning the top speed I see Smile.

I posted that around the same time you moved it to Racing and Trackdays.

Rather than posting a top speed ... I suggest you post a recent Dyno readout showing rear wheel hp and the system it was tasted on.

Race bikes sell on dyno readings NOT made up top speed figures ....

I'd say if it has >=115bhp at the wheel (RWHP), then it is a pretty 'strong' steelie! Thumbs Up .. if it has <100RWHP then it is in a very mild state of tune, standard or 'hanging' Wink

There is only one other thing that people need to know about a race bike .. and that is the last time it received an engine 'refresh' ... if this was >10hrs ago, then it needs another one!
