I remember the Z900 (around 1976) being a bit of a thing when I was young. Something distinctive about it was the noise they made; it was quite different from any other motorcycle at the time. I remember walking with mum in Sydney near Central Station (there's a couple of short tunnels there) when I heard a motorcycle. I said to mum, before the bike appeared from the tunnel, that's a Z900. She was so impressed that I could tell what motorcycle it was just from the noise.
Admittedly, I couldn't do it with any other bike.

Ah, the motorcycle thread. Here is a 200whp s1000rr with titanium headers, rear sprocket with a few less teeth, and 250rpm rev limit extension. Should be good for 200mph, but I havent tested it since I did 300kph when it was stock.
Oh, it weights 200kg so theres your 1:1 power:weight ratio

Finally sold this beauty last summer. We had some great times, but it was time to move on. Couldn't afford the track any more.

Aghast to remember!
Still have stale old fall air from 2 years ago in the tires. Have to order some from Eneos.

I mean that's not unprecedented. Remember Casey Stoner on the 800cc Duc? Dominant, and mostly on straight line speed.

I honestly don't remember the 800 era, I was working out of state a lot then.
