Good stuff -
I've had a look at some of the vids before (doing my research!)
Hope you'll make it to Broadford?

this year so far is looking slim mate, waiting to see if i can raise some sponsorship, as we spent a lot on getting my wife's studio up and going.. we'll see.
send us some photo customers and chances will improve!
what i am hoping for with exposing her on the bike is to get clicks and facebook likes, to make her viewing cirlce bigger to get more customers.

But you have to come down there's a championship at stake! Bum a ride with someone and camp at Broadford, could end up the cheapest meeting of the year!!

ah yeah, ok, i didn't realise broadford was a pcra nsw pointscoring round. is it? that's a big ask for a lot of people, me included.

It sure is a points-scoring round. Maybe it is a big ask but then its a four round series this year so you are saving a whole race meeting cost-wise which should off-set extra fuel and accom etc. Let's face it, its down to us to defeat the GSXR army!! You'll love Broadford.

Thinking about entering Spook?? I know you'd prefer to work up to it and have a lot of track test time first, but its a fun meeting and just come for a run anyway!! At the very least get trackside, it will be the biggest gathering of P6 we get in these parts. BTW had the VFR on a dyno, 96 rwbhp. Running lean up top, so may crack the 100 mark with some fettling.

That will be right up there with my P6 GSXR!!!
Note to self>> order bigbore kit & cams for "L" model asap!

Sounds like you should be able to crack 100rw Jason. My FZ750 used to be good for around 110rw, but it is a Yamaha afterall

Yes well I like to play the poor underdog remember??
Oh, and was the FZ stock??
Steve - interesting - Stick and I used to note that the 88-90 GSXR's tended to pull away a little on the straights from the VFR, they had longer legs. I guess its not just about peak power but where it is and where it intersects with the torque curve. Bring it on anyway!

Pretty much stock, call it blue printed, starter and genny drive out though.

In the US the 86 FZ750 was the first factory production 100+hp in the country. Was 106 hp.
