origonaly bought off ebay for under $4,000, listing was as follows:

This bike is truly amazing in every aspect (sound and performance) and turns heads, and is extremely fast (although has been geared down for more fun). I have been very meticulous in its maintainance and have spent big dollars (have receipts), to keep it in top condition and on modification (more to list, although I have listed the major ones below). The reason for my selling this awesome beast is that I am looking to purchase a SuperMotard or a large capacity dirt bike (either Yamaha WR 400+ or Honda XR 650, and so I may accept a trail bike as part-or full payment from local ebayers ( plus any cash adjustments).Please know that once you ride this, bike it will put a huge smile on your face (as it has mine every time I ride it).This bike has the following modificationsMotor:· 1216cc Big Bore Kit · Uni Pod Filters on 42mm Carbs · Agressive Grind Cams · Head worked · Race Pipe (Legal)Body:· Custom Headlight · R1 Rear Pillion Fairing & Seat (Comes with matched Pillion Seat Cowling) · Custom Paint Frame:GSXR 750

couldn't stand the colour so i grabbed a couple of cans of flat black, problem fixed, also added clip on's, twin headlights and small indicators, and chopped off the huge rear numberplate holder. as for the performance, well my wife vows to never get on the back of it again.

after putting 50,000 kms on the bike, even though i never had a problem with it i thought it an idea to do the tappets, being a 7/12 as most of you will know you have to drop the motor out, after doing so i found it had shimmed tappets so while it was at the shop i figured a paint job was in order, i had plenty of black on the shed and found some modified hothouse green which i had left over from a vn wagon i did up. also i shortened and gave the r1 rear more kick. also flat bars and a new oil cooler. then the shop told me the engine was in the same condition it was when it was built, and there was no need to shim the tappets. yeeha

am very happy have had the bike for over two years and not had one problem. found out afterwards that the bike was originally built for tommy at mmm motorcycles Brisbane. met a guy on the Yamaha stand at the Brisbane motorcycle expo who, after talking of our rides, remembered working on my bike when it was being built, he couldn't believe what i got it for and told me some really good bits went into it.
i only have a couple of gripes with it, the rear spring is way to stiff for the shitty roads we have here and after 10 mins of riding I've gotto stop and push my kidneys back out of my grundys, and the cams/carbs are to big, I've wasted $500 on different air filters only to find they choke the bike on full throttle.

The first green coloured photo had me wondering where the fuck your oil cooler was, then I saw you fitted an earls style one and the you inverted it. Shame you can't hide the lines now you've inverted it mate as those orange lines stick out like dogs nuts. Supercharger had a great idea using metal lines on his slabbie, check this:

By the way mate, love the way you have got it looking so stocky. Nice work. Shit loads better than the first photo.
