Been awhile since I dragged some STOCK tail

my boy "debo" (stevo) let me ride his 01 ZX6R for the day since my 954 was down. Geared +14 rear, stock front. At first, it had been sitting for a while - and being carbed it was gummed up. A few good passes & the rev limiter we blew the sheet out of it. I have NEVER ridden one of these - I was impressed!! Power was real smooth, brakes were great, balance point was on point - everything about it was SMOOOOOTH!!! Took a few passes then we had the stock tail draggin. For a carb'd bike - I was IMPRESSED!!! It looks like the bike C.Bo Started on . A few people have some pics - i'll try & dig some up. Even the front brakes were pretty sweet.

I had a blast! just still on a riding "high" and posting up, thats all!!!:YEAH :YEAH :YEAH

I havn't ridden a carb'd bike in 3 f'n years - it was weird! And then to have it run great even all the way back coasting it back onto the tail. I had the gas set to 'reserve' but it still didn't studder once it was warmed up.

Nice to bring it back to the ole' school. My 98 900RR was set up MINT - no bogging out or sputtering on the bar.

its all on how you set the carbs up!!!!!!!!!!

Why not, isn't that what stunting and riding is all about. Even then, it is hard these days to find a decent carb'd bike. And by the way it would be "you riding a smooth carb'd bike" not "bikes". If your gonna rip someone apart learn some grammer.
