In early '04 a massive t-bone destroyed my '00 R1, and both my forearms, my pelvis, elbow, wrist, neck etc..So I took a year off work to recuperate, then got back into it and saved like crazy for another year. Then in Feb '06 I blew the lot on a brand new R1, and I was back with a vengance. It all started quite innocently I promise.. a tinted screen here, a cf tankpad there. Next I stumbled across some used GYTR slip ons, cf tank panels and an Ohlins damper, then deal too good to pass up on a Graves revalved Ohlins shock came along. Then I fell deeply in love with the BST wheels, you know, THAT kind of love. The Aussie dollar was strong and that was it, the snowball was off and rolling, and now I can't stop it. I've tried, a little.I've had a GSXR and a ZXRR nearly this spec in the past, so I knew the best place to start was handling and weight loss. I've always found this to be the biggest transformation per dollar, and the biggest benefit to my riding. Then, when I'd got used to steering and braking with my little fingers and toes, I went looking for the grunt that was missing compared to the '00. It wasn't easy or cheap to find. The result is an incredibly responsive bike, that takes no effort to flick from full lean one side to the other at any speed. It bolts to top speed like a rocket, and stops so hard I stop breathing. I'm keeping this one no matter what.I've always been mad keen on racing and race bikes, and to me the Suzuka 8 hour bikes have always been pure bike porn nirvana. I did the same thing to my 750 SBKs, and thats the look I've gone for again, factory race special. If I was in charge of the R1 SP, I would of made it like this. All the time I've been building this, I've been inspired and informed by the forum. I spent days crawling over the beautiful details of bikes built by Blur1, Shoboshi, Firehawk, Rorlow, Yellowducking and many others. If my wife asks... I'm blaming them.SPECS All head work by Jim Hanlon of SuperBike Performance 175hp 81nm.
