seems like it would be a smart move to get in on the new rider small displacement market. Only issue is they would be targeting the new rider, deeper pockets (I'll assume will cost more than the Japanese brands) which makes a small market smaller. Premium brand bike may carry an insurance...
Not sure of the process but if the bike is a salvage or anything along those lines it won't be able to be registered here in Canada. If it is an SS it could be sold as a track bike probably for a loss. if it is anything else you probably have a parts bike or a nice piece of art.
Did you do this install yourself? I have an 04 and if it's that cheap and easy I wouldn't mind trying it myself. Did you follow a link or any specific forum instructions. Feel free to PM if you did, if not I'll do some googling. Thanks.
Agreed I'll do around 10,000 kms in a good year, I have no problem bringing my 08 GSXR 750 over 100,000. Lucky I got a great deal on a low km one and it's into the normal range now, I have no plans on saving it for someone else. I bought it to ride not hang out at Tim's and show it off.
Looks like the price is down to $2,300 now...at 41,000 km over 10 years that's only 4100 kms a season. If I was in the market for an SS i'd probably be jumping on this.
Off topic or maybe not. I picked up a new to me 04 R6 with a superbike tail. I want to put a thin piece of foam on it or what have you as it's just bare fibreglass right now.
Any suggestions on where to source one i can make myself or a kit I can buy to stick one on?
List:

Shameless Plug - This is my old track bike, looking to sell it before the snow flies.
Katatonic, sorry I've been busy moving and organizing I haven't forgotten about your pictures. If you want shoot me a PM with your cell number and I'll send the photo's to you in the next day or two.
All the bikes got winterized yesterday, going to be a long winter now. See you all at the...
I'll try and snap some photos tonight for you. Ya go fast bits never come cheap. I bought some ebay rear sets for the SV that i never did install but I did put them together and I couldn't have been more impressed. I put them together with a QC machinist friend and have a background in that...
My bike came with aftermarket rearsets, I'm thinking I'll probably just adapt to the GP shift and switch my street bike over to it as well so I don't make any costly mistakes. It is a possibility that if I just can't adapt that a swap could be in order.
My 04 R6 was delivered this weekend unexpected. Guy was coming from Windsor to Toronto and said he would deliver, I was in the middle of moving to my new house but I couldn't say no. Happy day for sure, ripped down the road and made some neighbour friends lol.
Anyways my 04 R6 is running GP...
So a deposit is down on the R6! Selling my SV650 and hoping all will be sorted and in their new garages in a week or two. House reno/moving is making me be patient.
Hey so I am very interested in an 04 R6 I found on Kijiji. Any of you guys have any experience with them? I'll be coming from my SV650 so I'm not worried about the jump in power more the bike itself, any known issues with some people with race.track experience? Appreciate the help.
this is...
Thinking of upgrading from my 03 SV650 to a proper 600. Found these two ads. Thoughts????

Had a few hours yesterday, with the help of a vice, a hammer, a dremel and a few nuts and bolts the rear set is all straightened out and I'll be at GB Sept 12th!
Had an off, had to sit out the rest of the season with a broken wrist a bunch of seasons back. I had the bike fixed before I was healed, once I was back out I was a little tentative but I couldn't see giving it up. I'm now on a track bike as well, when I have an off there I usually just think...
I was on the silver and blue SV, had the red Honda canopy. I was running green for the first two sessions, talked to the marshal as I wanted to go to yellow, he let me run yellow for a session before lunch and if I felt good I was going to stay for the rest of the day. We went out for the...
