  1. One owner, clean title in hand. Track only. Stock motor. 20,990 miles.The time has come for me to face the reality that getting back on the track isn't in the cards. So I'm selling my baby, a 2004 R6 that I bought brand new in September of 04 and have ridden every mile since.It hasn't been babied by any stretch of the imagination, but it has been obsessively maintained. Runs like the day it was new, only stronger. Routinely dyno'd at over 100hp at the wheel. From commutes, to exploring the twisties in Kentucky, to drag races and track days, this bike has always taken everything I threw at her and come back asking for more. Zero mechanical malfunctions in all the time I've owned her.Always used Motul 300V oil and RBF600 brake fluid, changed more often than my socks. Only the finest of distilled waters in the cooling system. Suspension only has two days on the track since it was last serviced. The paint is pockmarked from going fast, and there's a little rash on the right lower from a teensy low-side at Grattan a bunch of years ago. Otherwise, the bike has always been rubber-side up.Would make an excellent first track day bike, or novice racer, or endurance race machine. Fully safety-wired, never leaked a drop of anything, and always passed tech with flying colors. Comes with an absurd number of spares, Pit Bull front and rear stands, aluminum loading ramps, a rain suit, and even a service manual. You're a couple sets of fresh tires away from driving directly to the track with this thing in your trailer.Mods include:Suspension and Brakes Elka 3-way rear shock Stock forks with GP Suspension cartridge kit Suspension built, serviced, and tuned by Matt Carr, sprung for 190lb rider Tapered roller bearings in the headset Ohlins linear steering damper Galfer SS braided brake hoses EBC pads Powertrain Dynojet PCIII USB with custom tune Leo Vince SBK carbon and titanium exhaust Factory Pro +4 ignition advance Factory Pro Superflare velocity stacks Graves slide stops and AIS blockoff plates BMC Race filter Shorai LFX battery Custom 1/4 turn throttle mod Drivetrain DID 520 chain AFAM and DID sprockets (-1 front, +0, +1, and +2 rears with carriers) Two extra sets of wheels Bodywork Catalyst Composites bodywork with custom paint and graphics Woodcraft rearsets, case covers, frame sliders Puig clear DB windscreen Graves fairing stay Pazzo shorty levers
  2. Yep, he was trying to go faster than me, and a few corners later... Boom!

  4. Interesting that some big names are turning up. Maybe they'll make a go of it after all. I wonder if the fans will turn up (not that they have the past few years).
  5. Wish they'd have done it with a new Fireblade, instead of a useless halo bike.
  6. Pretty cool. Guaranteed those are Uccio's lips on the chin bar.

    It's fine with me too, actually. I haven't had cable for many years, and find that streaming commercial-free HD race coverage to my huge TV is way better than paying to watch annoying ads. That said, you and I are not yet the mainstream, and for sponsors to re-enter the paddock, some more mainstream coverage will be necessary.

    Maybe, but I sorta doubt it. The production and broadcast costs to get it on a mainstream TV network are astronomically high, and I doubt even the new organizers have that kind of coin, Dorna or no Dorna. I'll be happy to be proven wrong, but we may have to settle for webcasting, at least in the short term. On the bright side, that cuts out the annoyance of poorly timed commercial breaks...
  9. That's quite the fleet you've got going there! I do a little road, but not much. Mostly charity tours and training rides.
  10. It is, but it's hella addicting. My latest race report! http://pete.hitzeman.com/cephas365/bellies-bears-bruises/
  11. I'm hoping to head to Ray's for the IMBA weekend on the 18th and 19th.
