When owner/builder "Zippy" was tricking out his 1999 Yamaha R1, he knew that with a Rotrex supercharger hiding within the folds of the Yam's skirt he'd have to address the wheelbase situation. The thing produces 200 HP at the wheel with a monstrous torque curve to match. The engine features original carbs modified for higher airflow, a Rotrex fuel pump for higher fuel flow, a Barnett clutch and a TTS exhaust system modified to clear the turbine, then topped with a Yoshimura RS3 end can.
The chassis has been improved with the same kind of attitude-top quality all the way. Ohlins FG43 forks are clamped by chunky billet aluminum triples. At the bottom of the front-end you'll find a pair of PFM calipers biting on PFM discs, and the bite action is initiated by way of an ISR radial master cylinder.
The JMC swingarm replaces the stocker and adds six inches to help keep the front end down. Attached is another high-end suspension component from Ohlins.
This thing certainly ain't messing around.
