The slow bike needed paint and I figured I'd lighten it up some. The blue I wanted was too expensive so I went with the Ford Grabber Blue and I like it. I added the R1 wheels with only one rotor, removed the oil cooler, added the fiberglass tank so it sits at 460 pounds with the fuel tank empty. It should be about 470 ready to go on the track. A few minor details are left on this, then I need to finish up the faster bike in the next few weeks and I'll be all ready for spring.

Nice GT. I had a 2011 in Blaze Yellow but would have preferred the Graber Blue. I powder coated my Brembo wheels black which worked out well with the other black on the car.
Real nice stang there Getn off , we get them in Australia now . I am still getting used to seeing them around , won't be long before I am though 'cos people are buying them like hotcakes , and numbers are growing fast .
Blue Bertha went 8.77 last year at 152 and best mph was 154-155. This is stock motor weighing a little under 500 and me weighing 175 suited. It should be 22-25 pounds lighter this year so I'm thinking it should be in the high 8.60's to maybe 8.70. The gearing is soft at 17-45 so the best 60' was only 1.35 with a 1.39 typical. With the stock pan and exhaust underneath I don't want to lower it from where it is and I definitely don't want to be fighting wheelies. Lowered and geared it would go 1.31 - 1.32 in the 60' so low 8.60's would be possible. At any rate, it makes a good bracket bike.
