Unhappy

That was a '99 YZF-R1 that came stock with around 138 hp. I used to have one the same color... just not that friggin powerful. However, it could pull the front up at 113 mph with just an exhaust in 3rd gear.... it had a short wheelbase.... which made it loads of fun. It was stolen from me on Dec 09, 2000. I lost my girlfriend hours before.... that day will forever be remembered as the worst day of my life.

edit: That day I found out that my girl had been cheating on me for a week with one of my co-workers... that's why it stung a tad bit more. The real stinger was the fact that I lost the bike. It had $2,700 Marchesini wheels (magnesium wheels @ 5 lbs a piece) an exotic full titanium Yoshimura exhaust that weighed 4.8 lbs total and cost $1,800. That bike meant so much to me and the shock of having it stolen caused that day's memories to become tattooed in my brain.

Not to impressed with the speed and clip, since it was turbo he should of just draged down the freeway instead of trying to pop wheelies...just my 2 cents...thanks..

If you're going to do all that you'd think he put an airshift kit on it.

I think they were trying to show how much power it has not nescesarily how fast it went, although they did supposedly get it up to 290kph. Here's the discussion:
