Mileage: 27,500
Mods: Big bore kit (654cc), HEL brake lines, EBC pads, R1 throttle mod, black box with TRE, garage door opener and FI display switch
Best Upgrade: "The big bore Kit. When I bought the bike I knew it needed work. Turned out to have a broken piston, so Rudy at Quicktime Motorsports rebuilt the engine and it screams."
Favorite Aspect: "First, it makes me feel great and second, it's paid for."

Mods: 1999 750 engine, custom paint, Power Commander III, K&N air filter, swingarm and rear rim, polished heel guards, Deathgrip grips, cut/wired fenders and tail section, undertail, rear hugger, flush-mount blinkers, LEDs, custom shorty exhaust, Vortex Cat5 rear sprocket, Stomp Grip, mini-race mirrors, chrome pegs, FI crash cage
Best Upgrade: "1999 750 engine. It puts a lot more power down, fits perfectly in the frame and it was easy to do. Still paying 600 insurance rates though!"
Favorite Aspect: "The looks. I also enjoyed building it, I have done all the work myself except the paint, which my boss did. I can ride it like I stole it and it has never complained. This was my first bike and it started life as a stock 600. When I wanted to upgrade, instead of buying a new bike, I bought a bigger used motor and installed it myself. I love my SRAD and will keep it until I can't ride anything anymore."
