As some of you know my brother bought a 2006 Gixxer 1000 rite before I bought the new Busa. Since then he has been really busy.
When he bought the bike it was bone stock with 875 miles on it, he changed the rotors, chain set, wheels, brake lines, exhaust, undertail, put rear sets, and shaved off a bunch of stock stuff he didnt need {reflectors, mirrors passanger pegs, tool kit, ect}. He got the weight down around 380 lbs.
For performance, keep in mnid all he did was a little air box work with a filter, the exhaust, and a pc3usb with a quick shifter. And the bike stock has 159.8 hp & 80 lbs of trq with a stock weight of 444 lbs. {this is from Motor Cyclist Mag, he never dynoed his stock}. Now when he took it to he local dyno to map it they came up with 176 hp! To me this is incredible, I drove the bike and it is fast, of course it feels like a toy but it corners great and throttle is super crisp...
When he bought the bike he was going to add a little NOS and shave a bunch of weight, but now hes just shaving more weight and leaving the power alone.
When he gets his income tax he is adding ohlins light weight racing suspension and looking into some new calipers that shave weight, add stopping power, and consistancy. I havent ridden it with the new stabilizer yet but he said it just keeps getting better...
But anyway I thought this was pretty impresive, he has $12K into rite now {thanks to ebay}, and it looks like hes gonna spend another 3K on suspension and brakes. So for $15K he has one he!! of a bike.
A freind of ours is getting the new Ducati 1098 so this summer I hope to have some awesome head to head vids, of them going at it. They used to have matching 03 gsxr 750's and were constantly going at it.....
Well thanks for reading, I would love to get a 1K but I feel like its to small...

) and i feel a little cramped on the gixx. It's still not to bad though. I've done plenty of long distance trips and I'm fine. Not as comfortable as the busa but it more than makes up in handling...
) how much can the yosh cams add?
