I've been riding for 24 years and have owned numerous Harley's, GSXRs, CBR's, and even a Busa but this by far has been the most torque and most fun to ride. I would definitely recommend one or modify one if you already have one.

Exactly Rim, my last sport bike was a ZX-14 and I had built it for the Texas Mile Event, it was fast but the torque of this 117 LRS makes it an unbelievable ride! I would love to line it up at the strip with ZX-14.

Incredibly jealous at the price you stole that thing for man. My second ride will be a Dyna this summer probably if I don't end up getting a touring bike. I miss my FU fast bike sometimes and I want to build something lighter and strong. Dyna seems like the ticket.

How did you do at the Texas Mile? Crack 200?
