Re: All I want for Christmas...

I'm not sure tbh if you scour the classifieds there is quite alot of of ex race bikes up for sale which have been advertised for a long time.

If it was very special and desirable I imagine it would be sold via a specialist or auction house rather than ebay.

Re: ZX10 tuning info - Blade/Perkles/Rocket

The very latest bikes are very complex to remap due to the riding modes and advanced traction control systems. BSD told me they cannot remap Panigales as they would have to spend a lot to update their equipment to do it.

The reason I went PC route and not the ecu reflash route is I have an element of control. If I change things I just ...

Re: ZX10 tuning info - Blade/Perkles/Rocket

... Running someone elses tune is "okay" so long as you trust the source. It's no different from the standard map (one map that runs on all bikes) but yes there is such a huge potential for damage to be done. I would definitely advise getting a custom tune ASAP. Get two maps done, one for ...
