Hyper thoughts at the 600 mile mark...

She is a keeper bigtime...
Ive had some kickass bikes in my time but this one is as close to perfection as it gets.
I freaking adore this bike
I outfitted a `72 model TS400 Suzuki with Dunlop K81`s and put flat track bars on it back when i was 17 years old and that bike was a killer machine
This was back in 1972 when i was a young stud
Fuck when it rained i would flat track the concrete streets with a smile om my face

Then i started racing the short track circuit in Texas in `73 on Bultaco Pursangs
I worked for Stubbs Suzuki back then changing tires and working my way up to full mechanic status
I was rated the 3rd best rider in my class at one time but that was bullshit because i crossed the finish line ahead of most anybody else that year
The reason i wasnt rated #1 was because of the rich daddy influence

I am so glad i didnt buy the V-Strom

Its my first road bike ever but I agree! I've got 1700 miles now and it feels like the motor is getting stronger sometimes. This thing in 5th gear has incredible pull up long grades, even out of the basement of 3K rpms. Even 6th gear still has a nice spread of torque.

I'm close to having all parts for the 520 conversion and 44 Tooth rear sprocket with cams and DP flywheel. I think that will make it perfect!

V-Stoms are gay

Only one more mod required, try the Sprintex Supercharger from Perth in Australia. Kits already developed for S2R Monster, Hyper is next. The 1000cc S2R had a 50% increase in power and 57% more torque with stock exhaust, cat, O2 sensor and is Euro3 compliant.

I want that one!

a supercharger on a hyper. That is hard to imagine. I certainly would be interested in seeing one go. But I think mine is just about perfect the way it is.
