So you're to tight to spring for the insurance on a thou but are willing to throw 3500-5000 modding a 750? Me thinks someone is winding us up.

Best way to keep up with your mates would be to improve your skill, or failing that find slower mates.

OP I understand the answers your getting arent what you wanna hear so heres one you wanna hear...


Turbo it.

If you know anything about bikes you know that HP through engine mods on these things costs a pretty penny. You could EASILY spend that 5k cash and not come any where near the 30 ponies your short of a litre bike. What can you do you ask? What cant you do? Its an engine. Stroke it a lil, head work, cams, lighter internals, gearing (you blew it off, not sure why)...the sky is the limit.

Your question is little strange thats all. The best bang for the buck when it comes to bikes isnt internals, its all bolt ons, tunes and RIDER. If its straight line speed you want, 5k will get you a nice turbo set up if you wanna smoke 1ks in the twisties then spend your mod money on track days.

. +1 me if i had 5k I would just get the 1000. What i don't understand is why not get the 1k instead of moding

Take some of your cash and have them professionally removed.

This guy is likely very happy he joined the forum:headshake

But funny comment:clap:

On the other hand, I see what the OP is wanting. I have owned a K7 750 and now I have a L0 1000. Here is my thoughts, get a newer 1000.

When I first got my 1000 I thought it felt heavy and ackwards in the corners, really missed my 750. Than I removed the big heavy exhaust and cat off the bike, wow it felt so much lighter, more like my old 750. Once you get familiar with the bike, you will be able to corner like a mad man on it.

And for the power, I mean sure you could dump gobs of money into a 750 and it may or may not keep up with a litre bike in the straight aways, but I would take pure power and torque over a strung to the nuts 750.

The comments of learn to ride the 750 and you will stomp the litre bikes in the twisties, we are not all under skilled idiots that cant ride our 1000 in the corners.

Except my buddy on his 636, but he is just way too fast, but next year:yumyum:

I know there is no way to prove it at all but Id put a pay check on the fact that there is less then 5 members on this board who can post competitive times on a 1k on a track of their choice.

With out even meeting them Id also say that some one like JFM on his 750 or SP220 or good ol Youdaman would run circles around those same 5 1ks on their smaller CC bikes.

Look I too own a 1k, I get it the power is nice to have but its def not needed and its also not an option for the OP. This thread is getting way off base and slightly ridiculous.

I see your argument, but most people are not taking about pro riders. They are comparing your average people out riding their bikes on the weekends and the odd track days(if you are lucky).

Do I think I could ride with a pro rider? No, never said that.

A pro rider could out ride your average sportbike rider on a track on a cbr 125.

Just don't like the comments that your average 750 or 600 rider can out ride an average rider on their 1000

Here's what concerns me about this thread.

"well i started with dirt bikes. Then i got my bike. And i keep up with 1000s / catch up in corners. but as soon as we lean up... BAM.. "

Wonderful. He played around in the dirt, now he has his first street bike, a very fast bike, and he's racing in the street. He's not asking "how can I become a better rider" or "How can I be better out of the corners" which leads me to believe he thinks he's already there. I'll bet my shiny new laptop that he's not even close. So I'll tell you what's gonna happen. He's gonna build his motor, get caught screaming wide out of a corner and wind up as a hood ornament on an oncoming car. I just don't get it :headshake .
