But you can crash your head on track as well with these 35hp.

Any particular reason you did that? Going to race it somewhere?
Are you a smaller guy? I'm not certain my 200 lb body would do that bike any good.
I think it would be hard to sell that RSVR 1k... bet that was a fun bike.

Only 500 of these bikes are coming to the U.S.
The RSVR was tons of fun....waaayyyy too fast for the street. As far as tracking it.....well.....straight away speeds don't do it for me anymore. In turns the little RS will knock it's socks off. It's all about carrying speed through turns (and never touching the brakes

).
So, I figure less time on the public streets = longer life span. To the track I go.....
No, I'm not small , 5' 11" 180lbs. I fit on the bike well . and like I said...it's all about carrying speed through the turns.
This is the first new bike I've had in a while. The others are second or third hand.
I'll post more pics on Monday, when I'm back at work. But, for right now......I'm going to ride my chainsaw around the block again.
'Appreciate the positive feedback guys

Oh, and one more thing......I did some power to weight calculations.....
the FZR400 has similar power to weight ratios as the RS125.
Same with the CBR400R and close to the VFR400 (NC29).
No torque whatsoever.......but a top end of 100 - 110mph. Not bad for a 35 hp , 260 lb bike.
