Well I figured I would enter mine as this is the last chance while she is still in my possession. Many of you know, but I am sure some don't...I wrecked at road atlanta and she got totaled out by my insurance company. Right now she sits in my garage looking like a used up condom after a long night of getting it. Luckily I didn't have any of the carbon or headlights on it at the track. So here are a few of the pics I have before she died. I only had the carbon and lights installed for a month or two before the track day, so the pictures are limited. I also never installed all the carbon at the same time. I liked to mix and match it as pleased. This was the test bike to create all the carbon for us 08-11 R6V's. My bike was naked for over a year to get the molds made for the carbon. I have been waiting for a very long time to submit my bike for this thread. It was like every mod I installed, I would say one step closer!
Though she wasn't done, the recent events force me to.
DO NOT GIVE ME SYMPATHY VOTES. This is for the cleanest, sickest, most original bike out of the bunch; end of story.
I purchased this bike new in July of 2008. I remember sitting at the house seeing a Yamaha commercial with a slogan stating if you don't do it now, you never will. I usually blow marketing off but I took this one to heart. I had sold my previous bike a few months back and was getting the itch...this just pushed me to take the plunge. This was my first fuel injected sports bike. I owned a Honda CBR F3 before, but that thing had nothing on the 6. I immediately went head first into making her my own. After a loving two years of ownership and a few track days, this is what she amounted to.
