Sweet! Any idea if it was a sort of "racers only" thing, or could you hire it for a "run what ya brung" session open to Joe public? This could be what I've been looking for.

Now, where did I put the xmas present money...

As far as I know it was for RWYB as well as for racers. I remember thinking it would be such good fun

HAve fun with the front wheel in the air all the time....

Busa turbos are good at flat out speeds, but as a "ridable" bike, pfff, i woudn't bother..

If our Astra and Corsas with 200+bhp have issues stopping TWO 19" and 17" wheels spinning up, then 1 17" wheel thats half as wide isn't going to do much either...

Good in america with the space, but we're in england, Big Brother is ALWAYS watching...

Save the money and buy a bike for the corners (Banter)....

To be honest mate if you can afford it then go for it. You only live once.

Remapping the ECU is a bonus!
