Well, did a "thing" yesterday and added a "new" toy to my stable. Meet "Stitch" (red-black-white bike), a 2007 Ninja 650R...Yes, Dory's (blue bike) evil, even more "confused" but focused, twin brother... she's also a 2007 Ninja 650R. Stitch, named after the Disney character but also because he's basically "stitched" together with stuff from other bikes π:
* Ninja 650R...frame, motor, tank, exhaust, rims (front & rear...one set possibly from a ZX-6?), gauge cluster, clutch
* Ninja ZX-6...Front end
* Front calipers...Yamaha R6 (machined to fit)
* Ninja Versus...swingarm
* 1st Gen sv650...upper, lower, and windscreen
* Honda 250 (possibly 125?)...tail piece
He came with his own stands, front and rear, extra set of wheels (front & rear), and a S**T TON π of other extras π. Now the FUN begins in, as Coach Can Akkaya of Superbike-coach likes to say, "making it my own"... can't wait.
To steel a phrase from Kawasaki..."Let The Good Times Role"...ππππππ
