I’m bike shopping at the moment. I want to own a superbike for awhile, along with my Z. I’m keeping my Z. In this hypothetical I’m giving you a budget of $23,000 American. 18,000 pounds. In my case I’m sticking with close to that, also you will have $3000 left over for initial mods. I never owned a new bike, so in this game it’s a new bike only, old model year is ok. Hopefully this is fun. Maybe y’all will give me an idea. Thanks!! Ok let’s have it!

I’ve been considering an rsv4. I’ve been riding a long time, and always said someday I’d have a super bike. It’s not about the engine configuration. I love my Z, and if I could only have one it would be that.
    It’s more about the power, handling, corner carving. I want to be able to get on a ridiculous bike for a few hours. Park it and get on my naked bike. I have the chance to do it for a few years, so I’m taking it. It might end up being a zx10r. I’m staying open minded, and I have a budget. I’m 6’2” so that’s a factor.

Its your money but why have two in-line 4-cylinder bikes? 

Hey man! Congrats on the bike. I’m in Reading. Ride an hour and fifteen hours east, I’ll ride 1 1/2 hours west and we can go riding. 😁

A small flat screwdriver or chisel will work. Just scrape at the edges til you can’t feel anything then some high temp sealant and you’re good.
You just don’t want to create a path for the exhaust gases to sneak by. When you get it running again, feel and listen for a leak.
