I bought new fairings for my CBR600RR, they are fantastic bikes, and a little easier on knees and wrists than Gixxers.  Get a GSXR 1000 JJ 😍

GSXR is kind of like the monkey and a foot ball deal. Not sure how it would effect John, but I did a short ride on a friends bike. Quick as hell and fun, but was hard on my lightly damaged back.

Kinda scared to buy a 1000…. 😎   I think Travis put it like this.. “If I owned one of those, I would be in a bag or handcuffs within 30 minutes”

But yeah… Thats what I ultimately would love to ride…. 😎

It’s true on public roads I couldn’t stay alive or out of jail long on one but that is because I like to wring the living piss out of anything and I often forget I’m not on a closed course. But I reckon most people posses a common sense I lack.  I would get an EBR1190. They have so much grunt! I think Buell bikes will be sought after some day. Here is a 1190 that Ronin (Magpull) built that I raced Pikes Peak on in 2015:

Despite the crazy looking front end it was the best handling bike I have ever flogged.

You can do it John. I love my 1000RR. Lots of go when you need it and tons of fun. I have just over 40k miles on mine so far and still runs like a raped ape.

1000cc’s is pure love, but lets you know who is in charge real quick! Too much fun for sure!

I’ve been enjoying the hell out of the 1000cc’s in this beast!

I read an article I think you wrote about racing Pikes Peak…  Great read..  There was something mentioned in there about you saying a little too much during an interview or something??   😎  😎 😎

Yeah, the year I raced that Ronin my close friend Hot Carl died near the top in practice so I was a bit emotional after the finish of the race and I told a news paper reporter that the race committee operated like a toy watch. 🙂 They didn’t like that so they banned me from competing in 2016. So I built a Ducati for an Isle of Man racer friend from England and wrenched for him then I begged my way back in 2017 and raced a Spanish moto gp firm’s Buell XBR powered death trap. Thing was mental!

I think an RC51 would be super badass. I don’t know how getting parts would be for an 1190 if you ever needed any. And a Honda would never even need parts anyway. I had a friend with a super sick Nicky Hayden replica RC51 who wanted to sell it to me for way cheap a few years ago…. If only….

I have a friend that has a garage queen RC51 that is loaded with one off race parts. Such a neat bike but unfortunately never sees any use. I guess parts aren’t exactly easy to get for those either?

The KTM 1190r is an awesome bike but for the money a Honda Africa twin is the way to go. Reliability and little to no maintenance compared to the KTM…don’t get me wrong I’m a total KTM fanboy here is my KTM 300 XC-w 2 stroke…an absolutely amazing bike on single track and desert. I’ve ridden Dirt bikes since I was a little kid and can honestly say this is the best I’ve ridden/owned.
