I have purchased a mint 2004 Kawasaki zx10r, time to sell the GSX-R... MN-MSTA price: $2400.

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/mcy/2615120694.html

1999 GSX-R 750 Fuel Injected Red/Black, runs good. Purchased spring of 2010 with 7k miles on it, now 30k. Ran only amsoil oil and K&N filters since I've owned it. Has been the most versatile bike I've owned yet, I have ridden this bike out to CO and up to 14k feet, I have ridden WI and Arkansas twisties on it, it has been to MAM,BIR, and DCTC for trackdays (best BIR short course time of 2:00:13 on street tires.) Fairly comfortable bike, decent power, and very stable in the corners. Would keep it for a daily driver if I could afford to have two motorcycles, but recently bought a more track oriented bike.

Aftermarket:
- Yoshimura RS3 exhaust
- Vortech Frame Sliders
- R&K X-ring chain/sprockets
- K&N Air Filter

New last 8 weeks:
-EBC HH sintered brake pads (Hi Perf)
-Cam Chain tensioner and guide (professionally installed by Simply Sport Bikes)

New this season:
-RK #525 chain and sprockets (-1 on drive sprocket)









Blemishes/Issues:
- Needs tires
- Have an ignition override switch wired in, still requires key to start though
- scratches on left rear tail section from parking lot incident last fall
- dent in exhaust canister from low speed slide through the grass at BIR while wearing track plastics
- Tach sometimes fails to read out (new since last time I swapped plastics, likely loose connecter, haven't had time to check)

Also have full set of track plastics and windscreen that I will sell for additional $ if the bike sells.

Nice! I did a CO trip last summer and had a blast, great roads and scenery. Looking forward to seeing the pics and hearing some stories. 

Also, two of my favorite stretches of my trip are right near Gunnison... the first ~10-15 miles of 114 heading south from hwy 50 are very tight and twisty. And then hwy 92 heading north from hwy 50 is pure cornering bliss!

A 400 mile day costs you about $125 - $150.

Yikes, that's more then I thought it would be.

This thread is really begging for a "...priceless" comment though.

I have had one for a year now, bought to use with a buddy for a cross country trip as an intercom but use it for almost every street ride now to stream music from my phone and take quick phone calls (what's your ETA, where's the meet spot, etc.) I love it. Call clarity on their end is very good, on my end it's good but above 60 mph it's hard for me to hear them. (I positioned mine under some padding in the helmet.)

Definitely get the corded version, I had the boom version until a month ago and kept "eating" the mic foam and had to always adjust it to get it in the right spot to pick up my voice well. The corded vision is much lower profile and you can just stick it in the right spot and forget about it.

The only thing I can compare it to is a set of GMRS chatterbox units (non-BT), they were clunky and had pretty bad audio quality. But they were a couple generations back so not really an apples to apples comparison.

Welcome to MSTA Jimmy!

Maybe I'll see ya out on a ride or two this season... 

I just got my leather suit back from Tom the Tailor, he did a good job on it.

Yeah, I used a couple of them on a trip out west last summer. They worked great. Filled them, sealed em, and ran them in temps ranging from 40 - 110 and elevations from 800 feet to 14,000. Never leaked. I just strapped them to the side of my tail bag. If you just want a little "insurance policy" rather then serious range extension then I think they're a good option.

Hey,
heard about this forum since their group rides and riding style are often mentioned on other forums. I recognize some of the screen names on here.

I rode a lot in '07 on a '85 Kawi 900, took a 2 year break from riding, and then got a '99 gsx-r 750 this season I have been putting the miles on. Looking forward to meeting some new people and maybe going on some longer rides.

Hwy 92 in Colorado, worth the 1000m slab to get there...
