That makes Mark's bike look like a smokin deal.

I like his answer to the "can I test ride it" question on the bottom of the page!

Yeah, mine doesn't have a big crack in the lower
If the kickstand thingy is ground down on that bike like described, it's been on the ground

I put 300 miles on it in 2005, it only saw daylight this year for about a month, then it went back in my room

It's not a good streetbike for cruising around on, it sucks if you have to sit still for any length of time, seat may as well be plywood, other than that, it's a perfect streetbike

I thought R7s had carbon fibre body work ?

What are the performance #'s of the R7 anyway? Seems almost chalengable with all the new liter class stuff out there for much cheaper and that have parts readily available.

But then again, this is an elitist bike.

Well it's 6 years old now.. it's probably the same as a new R6 racebike would be.

This thing is like buying an RC45 though.. more about having something rare.

I bought the Yamaha stage 1 kit for mine for less than $300 so he's got some false info there again
With the stage 1 kit (front sprocket down 1 tooth, new throttle cables, and the "white wire mod" instructions my bike went from 104hp to 125hp at the wheel. I put on a full akra system ($2,100 at the time) and it jumped up another 12 hp

For being a "clean" bike it sure looks dirty compared to Mark's but then again anything looks dirty compared to mark's.

[OreoGaborio]

man, that thing's got NO over-rev, eh?

[R7]

The over-rev will come with the race kit harness and ECU. There's no indicated redline on the tach and the guy running the dyno shut it down when it hit the rev-limiter. The bike is capable of making 150 rwhp with simple engine mods and bolt-ons.

That graph is actual power and is not corrected. That's what the bike made that day with the current weather conditions at sea level.. granted I'm at maybe 50ft above sea level so it wouldn't even factor that in
