Nice bike. :] Have you ever rode before? Be careful. Not to scare you, but the statistics show that a very high % of guys who jump on 1000, for their first bike end up crashing hard.
9.7 Sounds about right. You could probally pull a 9.6 with a full system and a **** good rider. I raced pro motocross all through my teen years, then got a CBR600 then to my gixxer1000. I ran her down the 1/4 in 8.93 with a Full Micron System including headers, Ported heads, High Compression pistons, a Powercommander, Airshifter, High Flow Airfilter, and VP Fuels. I had planned on installing a turbo, but had to sell her to medical bills after I crashed in a motocross accident. Have fun riding bro. Their very fun, and I miss street bikes allot. Around here allot of people just get out and cruise on them around the state. Dont have to worry about cops. They wont even try and chase you. Idkn if you've seen it, but here's a nice bike video. I'm sure you've heard of him. "Ghost Rider" But I think the police finially caught him.
