Amazing fuel economy on them and very reliable. Went from 124kg to 99kg and about a 20% increase in power going to the XR. The warranty on the XR always made me chuckle. They would only honour the warranty for races up to 72 hours in duration. Only reason the front wheel was on the XR was so you had three points to stand it on when you parked it.Quote:

My first 1993 Fireblade did 120,000 k, has been all over Europe several times and only let me down once an electrical joint in the wiring loom under the seat failed and it dropped it onto two cylinders.
The Fireblade twin still got me home.

502ci V8 iron w/NOS, on tour in Utah.
After bikes thought I would be more sensible it rained a lot in Scotland so got me this VX Turbo, chipped, exhaust, dump valve, air filter, carbon brakes was pushing near 300 BHP in a light weight fiberglass wheel barrow.
I used to join in with the bike runs, it would do 0-60 in around 4 seconds and indicate 170 mph, lots of torque a fast wee beasty we used to terrify the week end bike racers and anything else on the twisty roads.
It was the most frustrating thing to drive after a bike you sat so low you could not look over the cars in front and plan your next move and you needed more space to execute said move.
No carpets or luxuries, she who must be obeyed loved the bike but hated the VX, we did a 200 mile trip to the Isle of Sky and we were both exhausted, noise and twitchiness you had to hold the steering at all times with both hands constantly correcting as it darted about chasing white lines and overbanding.
It did not last long.
Back to bikes.

I also lapped the Nurburgring Nordschleif https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%BCrburgring my 1993 Fireblade two up with touring luggage, loved that bike with its wee 16" front wheel it would turn in like my 250 cc racer if you rode it right sit back and don't shift your weight it would shake its head tank slapping then when you came to the next corner no brakes the pads and pistons had moved away from the disk with the tank slapper so you had to be careful with late braking as you had to pump the brake back into position.Quote:

Ride it like a 250 racer moving your weight about it was the best bike I ever had, within yards of the shop I purchased my new RI from I stopped to see if it had a flat front tyre.
Had some great times on bikes and met some great like minded mates, still miss the sense of freedom a bike can give you.
Wow. How long did a rear tyre last?Quote:
