Nice looking scoot - but it does lean more towards the gsxr styling, than the venerable Katana. I did look one over, but even with the FI, doubt she'd have same grunt as my 750, and a ZZR became available, so I jumped on that instead. Let us know your thoughts and comments on the bike, as you get familiar and some miles on it, though!

I agree... it definitely looks a lot ike the GSX-R. As for "grunt" it gets up and moves in a hurry.
As for miles, I've managed to put 150 miles on it so far in about 4 days worth of riding... The clutch is so buttery smooth its fantastic. I did a little experiment, and I found I can just let the clutch out slowly without giving it any gas and the bike will just start to pull itself along, no bogging or stalling out.

New Yoshimura pipe arrived tonight! 30 min later it was on and installed and sounds AMAZING!

Curious as to the 1/4mi comparison...betting the katana is faster...

Here is a picture of the new exhaust that was installed last night: And by the way, it is the R-77 model with the carbon fiber endcap.


Cant wait until my new Ermax gloss-black undertail and flushmount turn signals arrive!

Where's the new pics?

Lol... I would love to put up some new pics, but unfortunatley my Ermax undertail still hasn't shipped out of France... I paid extra to have it painted to match the body, so I had to wait an extra 2 weeks apparently (go figure)...

But soon.... soon I will update with the new glory.

holy mackeral, nice bike!

[RedKat91]

Thanks guys! Just got word that my new undertail has left France and is on its way to the dealer location, and from there it will ship to me. Probably another 10 days or so and I should have it!

New picture of flush-mounted turn signals: (new puig dark smoke windscreen and red wheel stripes on the way in the mail)

[RedKat91]

So I still havn't received my new windscreen or my new undertail in the mail yet... Arrggg.
The windscreen I can understand that it isn't here yet since I ordered it only 8 days ago.... but the custom undertail (according to the website) said it would arrive within 3 - 4 weeks from France. It has now been 4.5 weeks, and still no undertail, and a non-working tracking number, and no customer service responses to emails over the last 3 days..... I have 45 days to file a paypal dispute... and its been 33 days so far.... so I'll give them til next friday and the dispute is being filed. (it was a $315 undertail damit)

Did you re-jet or make a FA adjustment?

It's an FI bike...no need.

[RedKat91]

So...... the stars must have aligned last night... i just got word that both my new Puig Dark smoke windscreen, and my new Ermax (gloss black) custom undertail will both be arriving at the house today! FINALLY after 35 days of waiting.

So if I get them I'll begin installing and put some before and after pics up.

Installed my new Puig Windscreen:



Installed my new Ermax Undertail kit:
