I'll graciously accept.. then proceed to pimp the lil' 'Super-Response-Quarter':
Its a 1992 CBR250RR from the JDM market. I've owned it for 4 years now and have replaced damn near every single gasket and bearing on this bike. Anything that could be considered consumable has been replaced. This has not been an easy task as sourcing parts for this bike is a very time consuming and frustrating procedure. I've replaced chain, sprockets, steering stem bearings, wheel bearings, swingarm bearings, cush drive, tires (a few times! ), added Pazzo levers and more recently, a smoked windscreen, I'm on my 2nd set of carbs, had my fuel tank cleaned, lined and coated, replaced the fuel tap and pump, headlight bulbs (NOT EASY TO FIND H4R 35w bulbs!? What!?). I've also added EBC pro-lite rotors, EBC HH sintered pads etc.
I daily drove it for a few years but over the past year and a half I've slowly changed from the 250 to an 01 CBR600F4i (running an 02 F4i engine).. but I still ride it a couple times a week. Its my guilty pleasure. It really is a visceral experience. Once the engine spins up over 14k, the sound is wild. It actually sounds like an indy or F1 car. Nothing on the market now compares.
And to close, I'd like to share this one last picture. Back when men were men... and their bikes fit cute lil dogs in the trunks:

Dude you're too late! Too bad you'd have gotten my vote too. I liked it when it was a 250 but when you said it's got a f4i engine in it I was sold. That's incredibly BA

He means the 250 is still a 250. Trout and I thought he did an engine swap. We misunderstood his wording
