Hey Fox...keep what you have and learn to ride better...do not worry about "keeping up" with the other guys. Ride your ride. If you use good riding techniques you have the potential to outrun anyone on any bike...welcome to the site!

 

Hello & Welcome!!

 

Welcome to the site. Do a search on the site, and you'll see some good advice on making your ride faster. The most common one is to throw a couple of decals/stickers on your ride.

 

What he said.

It's a great feeling to drop somebody in the twisties on a bike that's ten years older and 25 hp lower. Spend your money on track days, and you'll increase the performance of your current bike plus whatever bikes you ride in the future.

 

by a litrebike. then you will be fast.

J/K. 8 months feels like a lot of time on a bike, but it isnt. I feel better at riding every day and I have been riding for 4 years at almost 20,000 miles per year. That doesnt include the time i spent in the dirt before i was of legal age to be on the street.

learn to push the limits of your bike safely and you will be faster than a lot of the squids that ride the streets.

 

Hi and [sm=welcomesign.gif]to the site!
The easiest way to make your bike faster is to put aQuick Accelleration kit on it, consisting of usually -1 tooth front sprocket and +2 rear sprocket.
But honestly, in a contest of outright speed no matterwhat you do to the bike, it won't be as fast as a new 600[&o].
You are better off learning to be a better rider, that will ultimately make YOu faster!!

 

Welcome, maybe you can get power commander 3 and dyno it. It will give you few more hp's and maybe upgrade your exhaust as well.
