I put a scales under my front tire and anothe under my back tire,it was full with oil and water ,the total weight we got was 145 kg.

My zxr has been on a diet for 4 years now..lots of ti. and carbon fibre.

illegal....that doesnt matter... :smt018

What matters is.....the bike is as lite as possible while being relitvly safe...

I through out my rear brake disc ,caliper,master cly,.. etc..

I sold it to a scrap metal dealer :excited

now some folks may not agree with that ... but its 6 of one and half a dozen of the other...

my point is it doesnt matter wheather its ilegal or not.

If we all obeyed the rules ,what kind of a world would we be living in?? :smt017

you don't race your bike then? if you do how do you get away without a rear brake?

And to say illegal doesn't matter what a load of bollox, and relatively safe?????
