Default be prepared to be underwhelmed...

here's me trackbike I collected today

The pictures do not do it justice, it's proper minging in the flesh

It's a FZR400RR fitted with a FZR600R engine (from the foxeye model for those that remember)

Can't say much about it so far. I only rode it for 5 minutes in the rain to make sure it actually went. Obviously it's a massive difference to the Tuono. Thing that really stands out is how small it is, it's tiny

You'd be better off taking the pram around the track

Only joking, looks nice. Best get yourself booked onto Rockingham
