I sold my VTR because I didn't have the heart to pull it apart.
I picked up a K4 GSXR thou with low kms with the cash and decided it was time for some fun.
This will be my commuter so I was pressed for time to make some mods.

I rode it for a week stock and loved the engine but hated the riding position so I parked it after work Friday and had two days to get it sorted for Monday.

As I bought it:

The pull apart:

Pinched a few things off the TL that is taking up space in the garage:

Goes like a rocket and is very nice to ride now.

Still heaps to do but the first is to get rid of that horrible coolant bottle...

You will be the first to know, Chris.
It cost about 5 grand so I will only sell it as a last resort...
