Here are a few pics of my 99' 900 SuperSport. 900cc(or so) engine with F-1 mufflers (polished by me), BMC racing air filter (top of air-box removed), and a performance chip. The seat is stock with passenger cover. Wheels are stock wheels and painted white. Tires are pilots. It has custom tricolore paint, a tinted windshield, and lots of carbon fiber bits. I bought this bike from Bellissimoto last year. I partially disassembled it, detailed the entire bike, put on new tires, chip, and airfilter, and checked the belts,plugs, oil, etc. I added lots of CF when I put it back together and painted the wheels white

. I am not sure the engine is stock..... it feels much stronger than the other 900s' which I have owned or ridden

. Is it worthy of bike of the month

? That is up to everyone to decide...... there are some really nice trick bikes on here

, maybe you will like mine best

..... or not

Actually, it is more like a 56' Corvette. They didn't have the side scallops in 54' and 55'. I did really like the 56-57 body style and the 57' could be had with the fuelie engine which made it one of the fastest cars made at the time. My favorite was the 59' model....... I just love that big toothy grill and all the chrome and stainless trim...... not to mention the available fuelie engine, racing brakes, and heavy duty suspension. Damn, GM used to really know how to build cars. I dearly loved my old Corvettes (two 63s' and a 68' convertible big block). I am glad I had the resources to buy them when I was young and enjoyed them as they were meant to be enjoyed....... street racing and drag racing on Friday and Saturday nights while driving through town trying to pick up the ladies. It is a pity those fantastic cars sit mostly in old men's garages and collect dust between car shows..... never to be driven in anger again...... what a waste.
