Cleaned up the rear
Think it looks a lot better absent passenger pegs and seat. Its only 4 bolts and 5mins to put them back on should I want to ride 2up. Not the greatest picture...
Also, having put 3,000 miles on my Daytona now riding with guys on supersports, I was curious as to why this bike is so quick to 100mph? It punches well above its weight from stoplight to stoplight etc. My most frequent riding partners are on a new R9 and a 2008 GSXR750. Each of them have about 20wheel HP on my bike which is making ~94HP at the wheel with CSR exhaust. Neither one of them can pull an inch away from me unless I make a mistake before 100mph with the QS installed. I know that our Triple engine makes more torque than Inline4s of the same displacement, and makes it much earlier in the range too. The R9 has a Triple also though, that is more powerful. This is because we have a HUGE dinner plate rear sprocket. I looked it up and it has 51 teeth stock. Normal for a supersport stock is 45 or 46teeth at rear (15 in front). Our bikes have 50freaking 1teeth at the rear. Thats the equivalent of dropping TWO teeth in the front, or up 5 to 6teeth in the rear over most similar bikes. I dropped a front tooth on a previous CBR600 I had to make it quicker from a stop and accelerating. Dropping 1 tooth at front is equal to adding 3 in the rear because its a 1:3 ratio (15:45). Just thought you might also find this interesting. This is why our bikes top speed is low 140s vs 160mph. How often do you ride that fast though? This thing cruises at 120mph on the interstate like it could do it forever. I love the fact that our bikes are geared so low. If anyone was looking for taller gears instead of best acceleration there are 6 different teeth you could drop at the rear...I like mine the way it is though.
