Re: 09 ZX6R Titanium round bar preview
Id love to see someone like DrasticDan do a really long and hard scrape with one
The sparks stay lit up and bounce off the pavement, leaving 10ft+ long trails of really bright bouncing sparks...It gets so bright at night I can literally see the light glowing under me while scraping out of the corner of my eyes...And the video made it look kinda orange but the sparks are actually really really white in person...

Re: 09 ZX6R Titanium round bar preview
And yes because of the difference between the Canadian and US dollar, bikes just cost more here..Retail on the Monster when I bought it was $13,399 + %14 tax + PDI and all the other BS Which would come out to over $15,000...So I actually got about $1000-1500 off retail price...The Blue and Orange ones for my friends were $13,000 flat my monster was $13,200 OTD

Re: 09 ZX6R Titanium round bar preview
Ive had mine for about 2 years now, and its not even half way through....It started to wear pretty fast when it was new, because it was wearing on the pointy part of the bend. Now that its about half way through it seems to never wear anymore noticeably.
When it does wear almost through, I am going to have my welder weld more Ti on it to build it back up...
If you bring me your F4i and leave it at the shop for a week or so, I will make one for it....

Re: 09 ZX6R Titanium round bar preview
I posted on here when I left my deposit and the dealer that was doing me a favor (ordering 3 bikes early, seperate from their stocking order that would arrive in March) said they would be here in 2 weeks....And yeah Kane said something like "good luck getting a 09 in 2 weeks" or something like that...However sure enough exactly 2 weeks later on my Bday (dec 18th) I got a call saying "your bikes are here, come pick them up". The dealer even staying open later so I could pick them up, even thou it was snowing and I couldnt ride it, I stared at it in my office for hours. Then took it apart.

Re: 09 ZX6R Titanium round bar preview
some people got the cash, and don't want to rock a beater! I'd be rocking a brand new bike if I could afford it

Re: 09 ZX6R Titanium round bar preview
The bar is almost finished, I should have pics of it mounted by the end of the week.
The subframe was reinforced with 1/4" plate on the insides, and some 3/16" reinforcing side to side under the tank mount and rear. The flimsy rear section is being totally replaced

Re: 09 ZX6R Titanium round bar preview
The blue bike inst mine, its one of my best friends and he doesnt really give a ****
He payed $13,000 for that bike cash, and beats the **** out of it like it was free...It makes him happy Since he started riding that bike he totally forgot about his 05 600RR, hates it and never wants to ride a Honda again. He loves that Kawi so much for stunts he just converted it over to his stunt bike, and is trying to sell the RR for next to nothing...
Funny thing is I turned my 09 into a race bike, crashed it once and its more fucked up then his 09 stunt bike
The Tyger Shark from the 07/08 is working pretty darn good on it, and it hasnt really taken any damage yet
