If you think my Tartaruga is loud, this one is coming soon.
Did your wife take your bike away and leave you hers?

Above is my wife's 2000 Bandit 600 that was taken straight from Suzuki to Steve Johnson ( NHRA motorcycle Drag racer ) He owned it for several years , and then he sold it to a mutual friend in Alabama . After a minor accident with the son hitting a dog the bike was parked for nearly 8 years in the garage . Over visits through the years I thought this would be a cool little bike for my wife . I asked Joe one day about it , and he said come get it ! Its yours for free . Tianne , and I drove from Houston Tx. to Birmingham Alabama to pick up the Bandit.
Over the next 4 months I rebuilt everything from brake calipers to carburetors. Many mods from Kevlar brake lines , full exhaust , ASV shorty levers , DL650 clutch perch , DL1000 Hand guards , bar risers , Zero Gravity tour screen with MRA Large X screen , Driving lights , Belly pan , shortened center stand , Bandit 1200 swing arm / 5.5 " rear wheel for 180/55 tire , Race tech gold valves , .85 KG springs , luggage rack by Rentech , hand bent tip over bars with my own fabricated mounting brackets , Pingle fuel valve , Shori battery , DID chain , GP shift , emissions removed , Wave rotors ordered last week , lowered seat , lowered bike 1.75" for here short legs , HID head light , Gear indicator , Givi no touch tank bag / ring , Jet kit , K&N air filter , Hayabusa bar end weights gen 2 , 2017 SV650 foot pegs , New clutch frictions / steels / springs , All engine gaskets , LED turn signals Oberon , integrated tail light signals , back off brake light , side / front facing ( 4 ) turn signals led , no passenger pegs or brackets , hwy peg foot rest integrated into tip over bars / bobbins .
I'm sure things are left off the list , but since the overhaul 2 years ago we have toured nearly 10,000 miles with it .

Both are 08's. The grey I bought new …. actually the second grey one I bought new. The first got damaged in a tornado of 08 so the insurance company bought me a new one. It was essentially the same bike as the blue one is today until two years ago when I went 1441 with an 80 shot and did the Gixxer tail. Best e.t. last year in the 1/4 was 7.94 @ 173, shooting to get into the 7.70's this fall in good air. Best 1/8 is 5.04 @ 144.8 this spring, shooting for 4.90's once I get it sorted out. It has 6800 miles on it, mostly at the track.
The blue bike (Bertha) is stock motor with a 44 shot. Best e.t. that I remember is 8.70 on motor, 8.41 on the first and only nitrous pass. It is set up for a soft leave for bracket racing so it certainly could do better. I know the original owner of this bike but actually bought it (third owner) 5 hours away after seeing it on Craigslist a few years ago.

Dale Walker is a great guy . He donated several of his products years ago for a ZRX all Drag race day in Louisiana about 12 years ago maybe 13 . He even came out to the event that myself , and several other ZRXOA members put together .
His jet kit , and ing advancer are in the Bandit . No stretch we ride the Ozarks , and twisty stuff .

Here’s my ‘07
Carrozzeria wheels
Yoshi exhausts
Puig double bubble windscreen
K&N air filter
Lowered 2 inches f/r
Thanks! I did but I love how it feels. It feels like you’re glued to the ground but it’s not bone jarring. It’s still very comfortable on long rides. Traxxion Dynamics lowered the fork internally a few years back.

I had my old bike low low like that at one time and I punched a hole through the oil pan after hitting a pot hole.... granted... I was riding 2-up at the time.... but be cautious... might wanna think about an oil pan....
