Hello all im a fellow f3 rider like everyone else here and i firmly beleave that a 600 is the perfect platform for the 8th mile and right here is a few videos to show that HUGE horsepower bikes arnt always needed. Yes a busa is a awsome bike to burn up the track and so isent our cbr1000 but whats wrong with having a beastly little 600 liter beater? This bike was bought for me as a graduation presant and it wasent ridable it was wreak! No plastic, swing arm looked like a silly straw, and the front rim well lets just say it took a torch and a hammer to get that to hold a bead. So this was in no way a toy given to me on a silver platter more like a pile of **** in a wheel barrel, so from 2002 to 2011 its been a on going build to get it to were i want it to be and finally her it is and i want to share what i have with other guys that ride the same beast as I.

Looks like someone is having a great time. Certainly the launch makes a huge difference on a short track and that's where a lot of the riders skill pays dividends. Great job in bringing her back to life.
