IIRC, Chris' bike (burn-z) was the first to be featured in SSB from the forum that wasn't stretched or drag inspired.


Congrats to the OP on the feature. :thumbup

I saw that last week when the issue came out. I figured I'd wait for you to post it up. Congrats Jovan. Your build is without a doubt one of my all time favorites and it just keeps getting better. I remember the guy that won this years SSB Yamaha build contest when he came here begging for votes (had a Honda VFR single sided swinger and not much else) and ended up getting banned because we didn't give him the feedback he was expecting. I told him his bike wasn't even in the same league as yours and he got all pissy.

This should've been the TRUE winner of the SSB build-off. Great job brother again and congrats on the feature :bow

I was thinking the same thing, but held my tongue when he came on here :lol

Thanks Burn-Z:D
I really had a hard time trying to decide what to do. The truth is most of the mods I have are a complete waste for me to ride around town. Making it a straight up track bike will allow me to learn more about chassis setup and development.
Now, my focus will be track only. It is a waste to have this bike on the street at this point. To be honest, my high end aftermarket parts will never realize their ability and multiply the odds of damaging them in an accident or crash...
As far as the SSB show goes, the guy with the VFR single sided swingarm did take 1st place under the Amateur category. I was just surprised because the only mods he had was a few carbon bits, wheels, and the VFR swingarm. And you're absolutely right, he's not in my league at all. Total retail value of aftermarket parts I have on my bike is about $55,000. That's nothing close to what that guy spent on his bike. It didn't have any trick parts neither a paint job too. It is what it is... I just noticed when I was at MotoGP Laguna Seca that most people don't know any detailed parts on a motorcycle. The only thing that attracts people are the crazy paint jobs and the chrome. I figured since its MotoGP people would love a fully tricked out racebikes with all the goodies. I thought my bike would place 1st and stand out under the amateur class since I was the only tricked out racebike there but I guess I was wrong:dunno

Hey Jovan, I'm with you 1000%. I thought the same thing too and I didn't even get invited to show my bike. At least we got the last laugh when Sean from SSB called and said they wanted to feature the bikes. Steve will be there some day too if he makes up his mind and finishes his build. I'm right there with you on riding it on the street too. It holds no appeal anymore and is a waste imo but to each his own. I'm almost finished with mine again after my crash in July but it'll be ready for Barber next week. Thanks for the inspiration. I'll keep working on it til it gets closer to yours. They just keep evolving...forever???? :thumbup

Crappy pic I took tonight after I got it home again.

And to think you were going to be content with riding the street before introduced you to ZARS. :lol



Between all of the really nice bikes on here, there's definitely a good list of parts can get ideas on. While I'm not willing to put as much money into building a supersport bike, I do admire and appreciate all the work that goes into them. :thumbup

Thanks for the nice compliment DouglasyzfR1:cool:
SSB didn't want a half naked chick to model next to my R1 because they wanted to show the whole entire bike with all the detailed parts I added to it:corn

Thanks "mvera" for the kind words:tocoo: I was shocked that I made the feature in SSB magazine knowing that I didn't take 1st at MotoGP Laguna Seca this year but I am very honored that I was selected based on my long expensive list of upgrades:fact I know I definitely put a lot of work & :dollar into my build which took me 7 1/2 years:beer

Thanks so much for the kind words, I really appreciate it. To be honest, I never thought building my R1 could be this much fun. I'm glad I can be such an inspiration to you and other fellow members on this forum:rock:riding:thumbup
