I plan to replace all the standard black plastics and front mudguard with carbonfibre, a powercommander & ignition module, get Philip McCallen to tune the suspension and eventually, when I get my NCB built up, order a turbo kit from the states

ooh, carb, I wonder, does carbon fibre get hot like steel does, can you touch it after a long ride?

I can't help but fancy a Monster... I know for my next bike I want to try a faired/half faired bike as a change from my Z, (and also because I've actually NEVER ridden a bike with any sort of fairing, except a Pegaso, down my drive, for ten feet, and it weirded me out) but I'm just drawn to a Monster!Fireblade2K4 said:
They sound pretty
Edit: What's the deal with the pillion seat on them? That bike there has pillion pegs so I'm assuming that cover is just that, a cover over the seat? Or is it a swap out unit?
Either way, I bet it's pretty poop for the poor bint on the back...
Edit 2: Actually on second inspection that's just a cover, right? Looks very nice with it on, I must say. Tempted for one for the Z but £80 just to clean up the back end I dunno if I can bring myself. Bellypan and flyscreen first

That’s mental! (and very impressive)cyclops12 said:
How does it compare to its two wheeled counterpart, do you still lean for steering or is it more like a car?
Also if you don't mind me asking, how long was it after the accident that you got back into biking? I keep reading various similar stories and at times it does make me worry about staying on two wheels.

Good on ya mate. I usually hate trikes, but your circumstance is a little different. You've also done it in a really tidy way, looks dead smart. I thought that you may have not had use of your legs when i saw the boot straps.
I'd also like to know how it handles?
I hope those zorsts are road legal?
