GSX-R 1000cc Dirt Bike - OFF ROAD test ride

Darwin's exception
:laughing Hold my beer while I go break some bones!

There are a few photo's floating about of Nick successfully riding his CBR954 with TKCs around some blue trails at Hollister just a few years ago. Better than I thought he ever could. Lesson learned, don't tell a red neck he can't do something. :facepalm

You can find them Gixxers, ready to convert, lying under logs off Bear Creek Rd.

Pretty common with the hill climb crowd.
Admittedly I am pre-wired to like this thing. Not sure I'd want to rail one around Hollister though.
....but that sound!
That thing is so tail happy the poor motor is pretty much banging off the rev limiter the entire time.

Did you see those radiator/side bar protectors on there? They come to a F'n point! Sure wouldn't want to go down and have a 450 lbs spiked metal ball rolling around with me!

If they put it in a ADV chassis or maybe even a dirt bike chassis I'd be more impressed; with street geometry and length it must handle for sh*t. Fun in a straight line though.

I had the same thought. That stock frame would be a huge compromise being re-purposed for dirt duty. As I said before, the hill climb guys have this stuff down. I recall seeing a Bandit 1200 motor stuffed in to what started out as a 450 frame. That's where the engineering began.
