Brad's New Bike - '12 ZX10R

[C3L1CA]

Made it out to Rock Falls on Saturday and the new cycle concept clutch worked great! It was a test and tune day so racing started around 9 and ended around 4:40ish. All the cars left early but the few bikes stuck it out till the end and I'm glad I did :dj:

Ended up hooking after dumping the clutch a little too quick on one run lol.

Was pretty much stuck in the 9.0 range for a good chunk of the day. Towards the end I tried a different technique of laying on the tank more with my feet behind me, it worked a lot better for me. First pass with technique it cracked off a 8.99. 2nd pass it did 8.98 to back it up and the 3rd pass it was too low on gas and the bike bucked on the launch lol.

I yelled a big yaaaaaaahooooooooo when I got my slip and did a little uncoordinated dance on the bike on the way back to the pits lol.


Cleaned the bike up the next day and did a little photoshoot with a buddy and then had a guy doing rolling shots in the same area. Was always curious to see what it looks like so didn't want to pass that up either.

Bike is now in storage at a buddys place about a hour and a half away. Might get a drag shock over the winter pending how much I can be a hermit this winter and save money. Also going to try and lose 15lbs over the winter, rather get rid of my gut than spend money taking weight off the bike lol

Overall I love this bike. Was able to take it out on pretty good sized road trip and run 8's in the summer without the bike missing a beat.

Congrats! And the pics are awesome! Didn't think a extended bike could wheelie

Kawasaki H2 for next year :P Factory supercharged liter bike, they are already nuts!

Woot!!! Congrats man, 152mph is getting it done!

[Mark Leasure]

Awesome, congratulations on 8's!

Damn, at first I wasnt to impressed with the looks of the new kawasaki rockets. But now I live the looks of them because of your photos! Also loving that white cbr1000rr with gold wheels.

Bad ass! Got any video of the new technique? Pretty sweet dude!

Awesome job getting to the 8's! Now see how deep into them you can go next year

Thanks Pat!! When you fuck up a launch, anything is possible lol. Better go make a project thread for your new car! :)

I wish, too much money for this guy. I think I'd rather buy a built/turbo'd busa for a fraction of the price of a h2. Will definitely be a bad ass bike that's for sure!

Woot!!! Congrats man, 152mph is getting it done!
Thanks Aaron! Hopefully my fatty self can lose some weight and get that trap speed up a bit next year just by losing a few lbs lol

Awesome, congratulations on 8's!
Thanks Mark!

Thank you! I really didn't like the way they look stock either, I think the lowering the front and mirror block offs really helped it. I wasn't much of a Honda guy until I saw that thing, bike is super clean and awesome looking!

Bad ass! Got any video of the new technique? Pretty sweet dude!
Thanks Chris! No videos of the different technique, think the buddy who was getting some of the runs got tired recording the runs and just wanted to watch and I wasn't really thinking I'd get into the 8s that day.

Awesome job getting to the 8's! Now see how deep into them you can go next year
Thanks! I would love to try and get into the crazy 8's (8.88) consistently. Think that will be the next goal to try and do that on pump gas:drive1: The track is like my crack lol

Awesome dude !
