i ran this T-100 for 3 seasons. a realnicebike.turned heads,and handled decently. power was good.   how ever,to say it cost 14k to hop one up 6 hp is just rediculous. i am talking carbed bikes here.   drop in a unifilter ,  slip on a set of EMGOs, and reset your low speed air screw, and possibly rejet your needles. you wil feel it in the throttle response. the bike wakes up dramaticly for a few hennert dolls. and that inludes a highly...

    I agree to a point with Tommy. When they showed pics I thought that it looks pretty neat. The floor boards and non manual transmission don't have any appeal to me, but the concept does as a whole. But, $15K is going to be a huge problem. I personally thought that they would have priced it for about half of that amount. I can't see how they are going to sell.   I wouldn't mind taking one out for a ride though, they look...

Here's an example of how pricey it can get:   http://www.eurosports.net/custompage3.asp?pg=eurocafe   Scroll down about 1/3 of the page to the Bill Himmelsbach EVO Triumph Scrambler.   I agree, this is nuts. There is an update of this bike hop-up in the January 2009 issue of Motorcyclist Magazine.   Two things to clarify as well:   1.) A Scrambler is around $8500 'out the door', more likely $9000 these days.   2.) As to...

I think the idea of using the airbox to create beneficial resonances within the intake system is quite valid. You'll lose that if you just replace it with open K and N's. Not to say that the performance gained or lost by either way (or leaving it stock) is all that important, after all isn't this thing rated at somewhere around 70 HP in standard form? No matter what you do to the intake or exhaust systems, you're not going...

Like the new Roundup format. Actually made the "Dream New, Concept 1" not quite a nightmare.     Wide open 'till you see God! Then Brake.

I removed the little "snorkel" inlet on my old FZ1's airbox.  I did end up having to use much bigger main jets than the ones recommended by Dynojet with the jet kit I installed, but power was increased EVERYWHERE!  Well... right off the bottom isn't as good, but that is undoubtedly caused by the pipe (bye bye, EXUP.)   It is a total fallacy that you can't improve on power on even the most highly tuned...
