MotoAmerica 2017!

No, no ,no! That was the Kawasuki ZX6RRRRRI'MAPIRATE.....

 

You are correct. All the MA racebikes started as base models.

 

They started as base models.

To be clear, I am just being a wise ass and sayin' something could happen based on the ZX (and for that matter the R1) line expanding after the initial model intro...

 

I didn't say that, but in theory something like that could happen, like Kaw and Yam extending the initial model line up. And if so, an RR model extension would already exist and be undergoing R&D and testing. So, to be a wise ass, saying that there is absolutely no such thing as an RR could be an incorrect leap of faith...or not!

 

What he said.

 

When does a RR begin? When the engineer opens CATIA (sp?) on his computer, or when it shows up at the dealership?

 

It is almost like a battle to see who can fit the most R's in their name.

I'm waiting for the GRSXR-RR1000RRR.

 

You weren't into sport bikes in the 80s and 90s. You can't understand the importance of Rs. Each additional one is worth 10 HP or 5 mph, measured at the brochure. Crucial stuff.

 

Rs are so important that the fast and furyfisted started R'ing everything. Civics, Integras, Sentras, Jettas. . . it was SSing of the 90s tuning community.

Idiots.

 

I keep re-watching the 600 race hoping it ends differently. Haha.

So, sorta like stickers on street or track bikes?

How many stickers does it take to equal one R?

 

And remember you can only turn an R1S into an R1R, if you want an R1RR you need to start with an R1M.

 

So is the GSXR600 getting a revamp for 2018?

 

The way it looks we'll be lucky to even have a GSX-R600 in 2018

 

Valid point.

 

So you are saying maybe possibly there's a chance but you aren't sure? I'm sure glad you listened when I requested you to stop stating facts
