Somehow I managed to steer the conversation into a totally different direction, and I really do not know how!

On a more serious note (even though life is too f..... short not to have a bit of fun) I would propose this:

The top 3 recommendations, based on the number of duplicates, will receive another personalised picture, I promise. Obviously the winners will be the ones who will come up with the recommendation first...

Happy bidding...

P.S.: This sounds really weird guys!

Without a doubt, your bike is nice and very unique. Nice one.

Your ex aint bad, plenty more where they come from!

Stay safe.

Ok your bike is sexy !!!!

It's not a 999 so it has to be sexy :cool:

Mario, you've already got a fair few performance bits on there. If you want to keep going then I would consider ohlins suspension.

You've got plenty there, why don't you consider getting it set up properly. Try taking it to someone like Sigma for a full monty and a few other toys.

improvements, ok, right arm should be moved, eyes should be open with a slight sparkle, back should be a bit more arched and i think maybe boots instead of those mickey mouse shoes.:D if you dont mind me just saying you might want to do a few mods to the Duke also.:D:D

Seriously how much do you want to spend though... as the list is endless...

Bling ride height adjuster
Close ratio box
Thumb operated rear brake
Ohlins WSB spec forks/shock
Brembo GP calipers front/rear
Lap timer
Full telemetry kit

Oh the list just goes on and on...

I would just like to understand what the top 3 improvements/adjustments I could do to my bike for a better track riding experience (probably using a consevative cost/benefit ratio).

Thanks

You look to have some lightweight wheels, so that's one huge improvement already, the forks and shock would be another but that's going to be around £2000+ for R+R kit not WSB, have you got rearsets on that thing? might not make a major improvement, but some seem to think so.

I'd ditch the lights, and get a standard race nosecone, 1 to save weight, 2 if it is a prototype you're never going to find a spare nosecone/light assembly easily in case of an off.

Engine wise, well without knowing what it has you could try contacting someone like JHP and have them set it up, Power commander custom mapping, let alone what John could do for you.
