hi mate theres one shot!
kind of an end of an era imo,full factory HRC road based bikes(dont think they will spend this kind of money and time on the new cbr)

also no idea about the forks(one being higher than the other)might have something to do with the factory showa forks having different spring rates in each fork and stopping some probs.no idea but ive seen it a few times.Ill ask someone who knows next time i see them
by the way arata exhausts will be raced with my contacts CBR team,branded as Dynojet exhausts.The team is doing all the devopment for the 2008 CBR exhaust

nice man

Dammit Simon, now I gotta go clean myself up. Seriously, thanks for the bike porn bro! Amazing stuff

very nice simon. great pics as usual.

arata seems to be picking up the pace this year. erion racing is running their pipes on the fx bikes this year (yes, rewind your tivo and take a look!)

[resuscit8u]

Yep- I saw that too

hope so about Arata.yamashita has a big factory in osaka but they havent produced any exhausts yet.(stil sourcing from across in suzuka.Across is the name of the factory that makes striker and arata.The main guy there Ishikura san is an ex 500cc rider and best friends with nakagawa san)
Arata is just a name.(actually arata san is also a famous rider,but he has the rights to the name striker ony!)Arata as a name is owned by COG and sam Yamashita.He is a fat bastard who is hated in japan and the states by the motorcycle industry.The guy(who is Korean not japanese)is super rich due to other businesses(building stone for one)but he has screwed everyone he has worked with.But i think he has learnt money cant buy everything.His factory is incredible(i went to it last year)and worth millions of dollars but they still havent made one exhaust because they dont have people skilled to make them!Maybe soon they might but who knows.
Also there have been problems with yamashita and arata san.For example yamashita ordered 100 sets of 2007 cbr600rr rear sets from arata(the rearsets are made in Suzuka by another factory.I have been there,and hopefully will have direct business with them)but yamashita refused to pay for them.thats the kind of things he does.
