hey r1, off topic but i'm guessing by your handle you have a yamaha r1? i'm considering getting either a gixxer 1000 or the r1 to complement my busa.
Are you thinking about tracking it? If so r1...if your looking to do tricks GSXR...the GSXR is a very strong bike and I think the R1 is very nible in corners...

Sorry for being slow, but what are "limps"?
Basically your engine dies while running and will go away after a restart. Alot of members overlook the cons of having a piggy back due to its cheap price. Usually, one can only learn the hard way. Sorry this is just my .02 cents.

if VT can beat a V2 with mods than VT should have no problems with M5s.

I'd like to see that become a reality. He will have to do some heavy modding to smoke an M5.

Hey now... easy on the rhetoric.

I ran a stock M5 from 80 - 90 to 140 and we were even.

I have the utmost respect for the M5. It's not going to be easy to beat a stock M5 and even harder a modded one. There will be vids from Socal in the near future...

BTW, we are talking about rolling starts not digs. I already know I'll beat up on ECF, CoolTones, Glock, and snikt21 from a dig.
