RE: sprockets
no, what you want to do is not considered stunting... you want to be a stuntah.

RE: sprockets
please keep it off the highway
thats all we need is another hoodlum soiling the name of sport bikers too many reruns of bikerboyz |
RE: sprockets
not really a stunter but i got a -2, +2 sprocket change on my 01 f4i, but that kills the top end, i can only top out at like 135-140mph (no speedo healer so not eactly sure, based off my cuz's 954rr (with speedo healer) running next to me), i like the added acceleration, but kills the wrist when crusing to the canyons

RE: sprockets
cant have both, just put it back stock and add a turbo, then youll have both.

RE: sprockets
Sorry to slam on you like this 350_spray, but honestly, keep the stunting off the streets. It makes all of us look like raging lunatics in the pubic's eyes, which doesn't go over well (considering they hold the power to keep our bikes off the streets if they get pissed off enough) With that being said.........
People already see sport bikers as reckless and dangerous people (even if a lot of us ride normally). The ones swerving in traffic, blasting through the neighborhoods at 80 mph, and pulling wheelies on the highway at 50-80 mph doesn't help this image. Eventually, our bikes will be outlawed and deemed too powerful for street use. "HA! That could never happen" people say, but what about exhaust? At one point, there wasn't a noise restriction on them until some jackass threw on an OVERLY loud exhaust and revved his engine up and down the neighborhood streets at 3am. Do this often enough and piss of enough people and BOOM.........now we have a noise restriction on exhausts. The same could happen to all sport bikes if we consistently prove ourselves to be reckless and a danger to the pubic. So now, I would like to share a story........... A family of four was traveling home from church one evening. A biker on a powerful sportbike pulls up a wheelie, accelerating to 80+ mph. Traveling too fast (and being new to stunting), the biker couldn't stop in time, smashing into the back of this families car, killing one of the children sitting in the back seat. The father, being a member of city-council, proposes a ban on all high-powered motorcycles. The general public, witnessing the continuing reckless behavior associated with sportbike riders, becomes increasingly in favor of this ban. Before you know it, the media catches onto this heart-clentching story, blows it up all over the news, and you have a ban on high-powered sport bikes. Sounds extreme, but MANY cities/counties have already tried banning certain classes of bikes from street use deeming them "too powerful for public roads." Long post, but I needed to say it. No one ever listens until it's too late. Us sportbike riders have no idea how close we really are from having these things banned from the street. |
RE: sprockets

pretty much the scenerio mentioned. if a wheel leaves the ground, your bike is forfeit |
