New Track Bike

[Tricky Mike]

I'm psyched... It's not your average 600RR...

[GixerJockey]

Nice!!!


Where did you get it?

[Pittenger5]

Its alright ... for a Honda

[Tricky Mike]

It's Simon Wilson's oled racebike... It was posted here in the F/S forum.
Lots of hot parts:

Frame:
The Honda was built on a brand new non stamped ‘05 frame, which I have the receipt for. The donor bike was a ‘03 salvage bike. The sub-frame is an aftermarket trick piece very light maybe 2 lbs instead of 10 lbs for the stock one.

Suspension:
The front suspension is an inverted ‘05 GSXR 1000 with black sliders. The rear shock is a Penske shock. It has a Scott (now called Ohlins) top mount steering damper. The front triple clamps are adjustable. The forks and the whole bike were set up by GMD Computrack NYC (by Mike Martire).

Bodywork:
The bodywork is ‘05 Sharkskins that have never hit the ground and are painted like the factory bike - black and red.

Brakes:
Brakes are GSXR 1000 calipers with 320 mm rotor conversions and a Speigler master cylinder (much like a Brembo) with braided SS lines.

Motor:
The engine has a 2mm bore kit, Carillo rods, ported and skimmed head, undercut transmission, Power Commander, shift kit, BMC air filter, intake stacks, full titanium Yoshimura exhaust balanced and lightened crank and has the very unavailable HRC race kit installed.

The HRC race kit has cams, valve springs, adjustable timing gears, clutch springs, special electrode-less spark plugs and a different cam sensor trigger. The kit was almost impossible to get in this country even Erion could not get one for me. They used all they could get in their own formula extreme bikes.

The complete motor and transmission was cryogenically frozen.

I'm not one for quoting dyno numbers but it has well over 120 horsepower and makes way more torque than any 600. I could have got more peak horsepower but I would have lost out on the torque. I think it was more rideable this way.

Miscellaneous Goodies:
The rearsets, Clip-ons, engine covers and frame sliders are all Woodcraft. It also has an aftermarket fairing bracket (he didn’t indicate the manufacturer). It also has an HRC quick turn throttle and switch gear. And of course it has the 520 chain and sprockets. It is also equipped with Dunlop tires.

Closing Remarks:
The motor is real strong and the bike has the best front end I have ever tried. I have spent way more money on it than I care to remember. It has barely been ridden in the last 2 years. Whoever buys this bike for $4500 will get a lot of bike for their money and be very happy.

nice bike, good pick up.

quick questions, anyone give me the short version of why you would cryogenically freeze the engine and transmission? Does it just make the parts harder?

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

I am riding it Down Carriage lane tonight for sure

["Dangerous" Dan K]

Bad-Ass!

[6 Fingered Man]

BAD ASS.

[Crash Dummy Denno]

its ok i guess
wanna show me how to not break my KTM tonight?

[nt650hawk]

Glad you picked it up Mike. I was thinking about it. I think you are going to love it.

[Tricky Mike]

its ok i guess
wanna show me how to not break my KTM tonight?

Come on by. The Squirrell and I will be getting down his tard.

[GixerJockey]

Holy Shit Mike!!!

[akira700]

Cool Mike. Looks Sweeet.

But what the heck is this ? :
"The complete motor and transmission was cryogenically frozen."

Does that mean when they have a cure for it, they will thaw it,
operate, and then you can ride?

Anyway 2mm overbore? What's the actual displacement then?
Was the motard thing getting old on big tracks like NJ?

[brendanp]

sweet looking Bike Mike

[nt650hawk]

The Motard will never get old with Mike.

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

Anyway 2mm overbore? What's the actual displacement then?

636 I believe

[Tricky Mike]

yeah, i had to sell the street bike and still wanted to be able to ride NJMP.
The tard is really where my heart is at, though.
As long as there are motard tracks I'll have a motard.

But seriously, holy sh*t, that thing is NOICE.

[DaSarge]

Congrats on the purchase Mike! Thats a sweet ride!

[Manny]

you so trickey!

That's getting fixed this week. I have a set of Diablo Superbike slicks for it

[Paul_E_D]

Mmm... I'd love to ride that!

[Jonny Rocket]

I was eyeing that F/S post, nice purchase.

[noxin]

Any chance I can pick that up instead of my bandit?

[csmutty]

Cryogenic processing
The field of cryogenics advanced during World War II when scientists found that metals frozen to low temperatures showed more resistance to wear. Based on this theory of cryogenic hardening, the commercial cryogenic processing industry was founded in 1966 by Ed Busch. With a background in the heat treating industry, Busch founded a company in Detroit called CryoTech in 1966. Though CryoTech later merged with 300 Below to create the largest and oldest commercial cryogenics company in the world, they originally experimented with the possibility of increasing the life of metal tools to anywhere between 200%-400% of the original life expectancy using cryogenic tempering instead of heat treating. This evolved in the late 1990s into the treatment of other parts (that did more than just increase the life of a product) such as amplifier valves (improved sound quality), baseball bats (greater sweet spot), golf clubs (greater sweet spot), racing engines (greater performance under stress), firearms (less warping after continuous shooting), knives, razor blades, brake rotors and even pantyhose. The theory was based on how heat-treating metal works (the temperatures are lowered to room temperature from a high degree causing certain strength increases in the molecular structure to occur) and supposed that continuing the descent would allow for further strength increases. Using liquid nitrogen, CryoTech formulated the first early version of the cryogenic processor. Unfortunately for the newly-born industry, the results were unstable, as components sometimes experienced thermal shock when they were cooled too quickly. Some components in early tests even shattered because of the ultra-low temperatures. In the late twentieth century, the field improved significantly with the rise of applied research, which coupled microprocessor based industrial controls to the cryogenic processor in order to create more stable results.
Cryogens, like liquid nitrogen, are further used for specialty chilling and freezing applications. Some chemical reactions, like those used to produce the active ingredients for the popular statin drugs, must occur at low temperatures of approximately -100 °C. Special cryogenic chemical reactors are used to remove reaction heat and provide a low temperature environment. The freezing of foods and biotechnology products, like vaccines, requires nitrogen in blast freezing or immersion freezing systems. Certain soft or elastic materials become hard and brittle at very low temperatures, which makes cryogenic milling (grinding) an option for some materials that cannot easily be milled at higher temperatures.
