...What up yall.

I copped a 79' Yamaha XS1100 off Craigslist a couple months back for $500.

Currently stripping everything off the bike except the engine (so much excess weight) for re-wiring and rebuilding into a café racer.

This is my first re-build so i'm pretty excited. Shits gonna look pretty dope when it's all finished.

...This is the goal when finally done. I'll keep yall posted on the progress.

I think the Can Am's look dope as fck, but IMO kinda defeat the object of having a bike as you cant really filter traffic etc, but if I could afford to have one as toy on some kinda celeb schitt for the summer I would get one haha

Me personally, the only automatic bike that I would really consider getting is an older cheap 'twist and go' scooter that I can just jump on in regular clothes and get around town, and also not have to worry about having it scratched or dented etc

Them 1000's are nothing to fuck around with. For one they're way to light in the ass and that alone will make them fly off on you if you're not paying attention. Be easy on that thing trust me lol I know @skpjr78

This cbr is light as hell. With a full tank of gas it only weighs 440 lbs but it puts out 175 hp stock. By the time I finish customizing it i'll be well over 225 hp.

I learned riding on a 700 and I wish I didn't.I got this lil baby and I ride the fuck outta of it.I ride between cars heavy traffic fuck the police lol.Nah but forreal fuck looking cool just buy something that you can be comfortable with.

I plan on adding a new pipe to my bike. I'm leaning towards a slip on but I'm considering changing the heads and the entire exhaust system. I know slip on pipes are easier but changing the heads make a huge difference. any thoughts on one versus the other. also what electronics do I need to change if i swap out the headers and the stock exhaust?

Took me about 5k miles before I got comfortable with my gixxer 1k ......after that ooowee. ....didn't get a knee down until I was over 10k lol

You ever laid down a 1000 @Cain ?

Almost @skpjr78 that shit made a nigga rethink life lol. I did lay my 750 down tho luckily I wasn't going that fast. Was coming to a intersection making a right and hit some damn loose gravel making the turn smh. My front tire caught it and slipped and tossed a nigga smh lol. I was more embarrassed than anything cause I had just bought that bitch lol.

I was coming off a exit way too hot ....just dumping gears and light on the brakes while setting up for a left .....soon as I leaned hard into the left hander, I see a puddle of water ....I tried to stand her up but the ass got loose as soon as the back wheel touched the water .....swore a low side was on the menu until I slide right out of the water, caught the dry, sending me into a high side. ...threw my ass up on the side walk .....I tucked and rolled up out of it without a scratch .....bike was not so lucky ....slid into the curb and broke the upper plastics and headlight

That CBR 1000 motor aint built for horse power gains like that. You might as well get a ZX10, GSXR1000, or the S1000RR. Those bikes make horse power easy.

Honda and Yamaha never make big horsepower gains even if you do engine work too them.

im a sportbike guy and that aint changing no time soon. im turned out on the speed, acceleration and maneuverability. i plan on keeping my fireblade for the long run but i can for see a day when i transition to a cruiser. what do you guys know about the big bikes?

i dont see what the big deals are about harleys. the only experience ive had on a harley was on a buhell and it was a total pos. they aare expensive as hell and visually they just dont do it for me. the only one that even looks decent to me is the vrod night rod and most harley guys dont care for that line. the suzuki boulevard m109r looks pretty cool but i dont know anything about it. you guys have any info on it or any other cruiser?

this mothafucka is sweet as hell. when i get tired of leaning forward this will be definietly be my next bike.

I got rid of my Fireblade not so too long ago and went for my first Harley, which was more of a cafe racer a 'Sportster 48', I fckn love it, its nowhere near as quick my blade was, but its still got some power but looks beautiful, I swear cafe racers are like a piece of art... Go to your local Harley dealer and take a test ride...
