Good stuff, looks like lots of fun! I've got big respect for you guys - takes big balls to push one of those things to the limits on the track.
Keep us up to date on how you go...

I've done both car and bike but the feeling of getting a corner right with the sound of your knee scrapper sliding along the road is just unreal. It's even better when the back wheel brakes traction and rear wheel steers the bike round the corner. Very cool indeed.

Well had 1st tuning day on new bike today f**k me what a hand full
Need to make some changes will drop a touth of rear spkt to tame it down a little and that will also lengthen the wheel base a bit
You just cant get on the gas it just wants to turn itself over good fun for playing but no good for going fast
But even though i had to fight it still did some quite fast times got down to 59.4 not bad time for practice day

Dammit....Now i want a jap litre bike :(
Lol, got 1.45 litres in the HD but its still slow
. 09 model Kwaka ZX-10 would be something to have a glance at if the info i've gotten so far is any good...
Cheers.

The blade would probably be the easier of the litre bikes to ride, doesn't feel like your quick but the stop watch tells a different story. I went from a gixer to a blade and couldn't believe how easy it was to ride fast. The kwaka has e rep for arm tearing power but having harsh suspension. The gixer is an all rounder and the R1 needs suspension work to keep up.
I WANT MY BIKE BACK. Bloody interest rates.
The most important part of a bike is to get your suspension set to the rider weight, new springs etc and it will feel unreal. Am I right MUMBO

I have noticed the ZZR 600 is a bit hard to steer, i thought it was just me being inexperienced. Goes like a mother f*cker but yeah, really hard to get stuck right into a corner, feels very unbalanced...Kawasaki thing?

Well we had round 3 yesterday & first outing for new bike.
I had some mixed result mainly to do with the shity weather.
Came 2nd in the B grade race should have one.
In the superbikes had a 5th,4th & 6th made a big gamble on last race went out on wets as the track was damp and looked like it was going to rain.
At 1st it looked like it was going to pay of was up to 2nd but the track was drying out and the tyres started to over heat it became a mater of just trying to stay on.
In the one good dry race got down to 59.3 not bad for 1st race on a new bike still need to make some changes.The crowd did seam to like the power wheelies down the strait thougth & i managed to finnish 5th overal in the superbikes
PS. i am slowly building a new bottem end for mumbo just a 330 as i havnt got the money for a 355 should be ready for the WA powercruize.

Love it when people do performance mods to bikes that are already insane as they are...
Got a friend who owns a bike performance shop, they take off the brake resevoirs and plug the top of the resevoir connecting hose to save weight, to me that is ultimate performance,
Nice photos,
