An '86 FJ1200 Cycle tested ('750s vs. l000s," July 1986) ran 10.78 at 127.1, with one horsepower less than our original FJ1100. What that proves, again, is that the last tenths of quarter-mile times are highly dependent upon rider skill and weight, traction on a given day, wind, humidity and the position of Jupiter's moons.

some custom ground cams and maby run on alc or meth
i would do a single carb on it to but i don't see it getting more than about 35hp tops (i think stock is like 22 but the ninja 250's are like 32stock)
but would make for a fun project
did he say what it would be going in?

Re: Picked up the bike yesterday, work started already. PICS up.
Ok so i didn't do much today, except i got all the wet sanding done. Tomorrow ill paint it.
My cx500 and my friends Rebel 250. (Got the tank and the seat on just to see how it looks)
My bike again. Pretty clean motor. I didn't even touch it.
Rebel. I like this bike, its fun to just cruise on.
Tank mounted just to see how it looks now. This is after wetsanding with 600 grit.
The rest of the stuff im painting. Front and rear fender, both side covers, and radiator shroud.
New choke cable
Paint supplies. I love the gunmetal grey, its gunna look hot.
Baddest freebie ever. My mom got divorced from her second husband and before it was final we snuck over to his house and jacked this one from his garage. She bought it, and had the reciept so the cops couldn't do ---- about it. Its hidden in the closet with lines drilled to the garage so we don't have a loud *** compressor going off all the time.
And just a cool shot of my snake.
