Yes the ZX10R is also for sale... I am sick of him getting mass tickets or running away from the sheriffs when they clock him doing a million. I never considered my bike a crotch rocket since Frank can blow past me like I am standing still. I wanted something different then anybody else's so I opted for my S3. I love my bike but hate riding in the wind, cold or not so perfect weather conditions... therefore I never ride it.

I like your bike and it will look sweet when it is done...can you do a concept drawing... I know you can.


Frank's bike is all carbon fiber farings, aftermarket everything, NOS, and has custom ghost skulls in the paint. He hates riding it since when we go out for a couple of hours it's a back breaker, mine is not so comfy either. I want something better the next time around as I am 6' tall and all my height is in my legs. They get really crampy on my Triumph too.

I don't mind rockets, don't get me wrong, they are a hot bike...but this one is going to be rad...

This is pretty much identical to how the bike looks now (not the exact bike, but same colouring, model etc):

I ride mine pretty much all year round, except for the week or two we have snow this year I have had it parked more than normal though..

Somewhere between this one:


and this one:

The last one is only a 650, but we're planning on cutting out alot of the unnecesary stuff in my bike so it'll be a naked looking frame.

that's one bad ass bike Steve.

I'm a big fan of cruiser style bikes lately. Alot easier to enjoy the ride on the highway. When I had the Katana any time someone passed me I would have to work a little harder to keep her level.

Thanks, the pipes that are in the pic arn't the ones that are on the bike now. I put the HK bigh 3" straits on it, lot nicer looking. I have also rejetted the carb, removed the air snorkel, put a K'N' air filter on, changed all the oils to synthetic, and made my own set of engine bars. thoes I am not happy with I used 1" pipe to make them and they look skinny on a fat bike, so I am thinking about buying a set of Lindby hi-way bars.

Mind you I am also thinking of trading it in on a new honda also. brand new honda modle comming out this month and it is bad ass

Yeah I love this bike!

Only thing is I would look ridiculous riding it. LOL. Not quite a style I can pull off.

The foothills of Alberta circa 1976, my brother, myself and our two friends. My bike was the red Honda X-75.
