A few pic some on track and also a few my buddy took of my FZR-400/YZF 637cc Hybrid race bike

back side view as am about to hit the apex then gun it down the short chute to another left hander.

Me behind my hybrid to give it some size perspective. I am 6-1" tall

I don't know of many hybrids that were as successfully built as yours. It really turned out awesome!

Thanks Rage. Its been a dream of mine to build an FZR hybrid for many years. I still have a few goodies I want to add to this bike but for now I just want to stop working on her and go ride her and have fun with it.

A big thanks to all the fellow fizzers out there who helped out on this project. :headbang:

Just take a Track Day, leather pants with pucks and a little overcoming your fear. Once you put your knee down, you'll be doing it all the time. I use mine as a gauge on how far down I am. My biggest issue is that I hit my toe slider on my boot. Need to raise my rearsets.

Oh I am moving alright. If I were not these guys would be zipping past me ha ha

Image
Last Sunday these two guys and myself were like this for the first half of the race.

Image
After the White bike over heated this 2 stroke finally got by me on lap 8 (of 12) 2 strokes are not in my class so I let him go and stayed in the sweet spot between the rider in front and the rider behind until race end.

The next guy in front of me was far enough ahead there was no reason to kill myself trying to do the impossible. By Lap 8 I just wanted to finish the race with our passing out from heat stroke anyway ha ha

This track is only 2 Kilometers long and has 14 turns. Hardly any striaghtaways at all on it. Real Technical and beats the crap out of your upper legs.
