Default Busy Week

I was off from school this past week (Spring Break) and got serious....delivered two bikes, which freed up some cash so I got busy and picked up a couple new peices.....






and then there's this:



...and Saturday I picked up another Haybusa (no pics yet) with a full TI orient express exhaust, PCIII, chrome wheels and dencent shape with about 14K on it...

So anywho....the RS50 is a hooooot to ride. 49cc of smoking POWER!! Its geared for about 60 mph right now,(derestricted) but was sold to me with additional spockets and hi-perf reeds , pipe and carb for speeds up to 72-75 at redline....although it would need downhill and wind at your back to pull it. AF1 imports 86cc kits that will power these to an alleged 80+ mph...bike has big bike fork, shock and brakes and handles good but is a little squirrely it's so quick to turn in.....what a hoot......I don't know if I'll keep or sell....I have some friends in Western PA that race YSR's, NSR50's and these on a kart roadcourse (Beaverrun) and have weekends of cheap thrills, so we'll see......

The Pacific Coast is going to be my day-to-day commuter. It has 22K miles on it, needs some carb attention and has a minor oil weeping issue out of the stator cover and some decent tires. This is THE bike for running on the beltway at 4pm.....in the rain.......

As far as the 'Busa...well......

The one I sold in December I never rode...just cleaned it, tuned it and sold it....weather was crappy and never had it out.

THIS one I rode today..............................
I have never never never never never been propelled from a dead stop to FAST so hard in my whole LIFE. The R1 I just sold was quick...but NOTHING like this. Dizzyingly fast. I never knew what that phrase meant till today, and I've been on some quick and fast bikes...........................

I CANNOT imagine putting nitrous or a turbo on one of these....................

This one I will sell...there is NO WAY I would keep my license with this bike in the garage...NO WAY......

One of my good friends here has a RS50 that looks exactly like yours. He uses it for commuting around town all of the time. Let me ride it once. It was fun as hell.
