Re: ZX10R Track Bike build
It's only got a bit of pink on it.
I'm waiting for a call back about it, if it's anything but "come pick it up on Saturday" they will be told to shove it where the sun don't shine.

Re: ZX10R Track Bike build
I loved those colours,should you decide to recoup some costs you'd have no bother selling the stock goodies.r1flyguy wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 1:34 pm HI All
Posted in the Noob section and was welcomed so thought this was the right place to drop some pics in of the project that I have been putting together since March last year.
I'm no racer that's for sure but used to do a lot of track days and Euro tours, both car and bike.
I have other bikes which i didn't want to throw down the track so set about purchasing and building a bike to do the job but I think my aspirations went a little to far as you would think a track hack should be minimal to keep the 'repair' costs down
Anyway, in March 2020, i purchased this..

Re: ZX10R Track Bike build
This reminds me of Spliffy's thread when he practically made a BSB bike out of a ZX10R back in 2006ish.

Re: ZX10R Track Bike build
Generally i hate kawasaki Green !!!!! But these colours did grow on me but not enough to actually keep the theme.
If i could get decent money for all the brand new stuff that came off i would try to sell it but i cant be bothered as i no longer use fleabay etc as they are more hassel than its worth these days and the fees are just stupid!!!

Re: ZX10R Track Bike build
Did he have the barra version and had gas cartridge forks on it by any chance?

Re: ZX10R Track Bike build

Re: ZX10R Track Bike build
Maybe not the same guy then. Adrian is his first name,he posted on Visordown and TRC as Spliffyaids.
He doesn't ride any more,he sold his house and had a boat built to live on and yes it's all tricked out true to form.

Re: ZX10R Track Bike build
He was from the south coast so perfect place for boats! Quite a short lad and i ‘think’ he worked or had connections with a bike dealers of some sort.
You know what they say....

Re: ZX10R Track Bike build
That will be a lot of fun, loving the nice blend-into-the-background stealthy wrap too

Re: ZX10R Track Bike build
Can’t do much until my wrist cast comes off on the 8th July and I’m cleared or need physio!
Unfortunately NHS don’t supply MotoGP doctors or physios
But I’ll hopefully find a space somewhere when I’m good to go
