PS
An American bike magazine carried out the same changes I have arranged, for their GSXR1000 (2005 model) and got the following figures, truly astonishing performance-value, at £11,000 total. (The price of a low-spec. Ford Focus fercrissakes !)
0-60 = 2.7 seconds
0-100 = 5.5 seconds
0-150 = 11.8 seconds (that figure is quite incredible, for a virtually stock street bike)
0-170 = 16.6 seconds
Top Speed (de-goverened, as mine will be) = 196 mph.

More importantly, is that your Trabant too (love ’em!)?5967cc, yes.
Yup, see above.
I am actually looking for a totally restored Trabant, so when I sell, do you want first refusal on this one? It is excellent and 100% dependable.
(Bugger-all to go wrong !)The Trabant’s great for just £600, ready to go, with a year’s tax and test !
A very dated 2-cylinder 2-stroke motorcycle engine, possibly the simplest car motor ever in a 4-seater.
No radiator, water, header tank, water pump, no oil/sump, oil pump, oil filter, dipstick, no fuel pump even, for goodness’ sake !
Just 5 moving parts and a gravity-fed fuel tank. An engine servive takes 5 minutes !
2 new plugs and air filter !The GSXR1000 is awesome !
I have ordered a full Akrapovic exhaust system, pretty pricey, but it will give it a great sound and move the power up to about 170 bhp at the rear wheel, when combined with a new air filter and re-map.
6 kgs less weight is handy, too170 bhp and a mere 160 kg. F A S T or W H A T ???

Lancer, you can understand how tiring it got being told that I did not have my bikes and cars, by numbskulls like ‘PatriotUK’ and being told that I am you, etc.
Hi there.
Changed the R1 for a new GSXR1000 in April. Awesome. I cannot believe how quick it is, yet it is easy to ride slowly, too and is actually comfortable for such a beast.
Given up on C4. Too many bores there.
(PS the new Monaro VXR 6.0 is fantastic!)
