I'm selling my 2008 Vesrah GSXR 1000 Superbike, it is located near Milwaukee, WI. The motor is fresh and has only been broken in on the Vesrah dyno.
I live 25 minutes away from Mark so he has done all of the engine and electronics work for this bike along with much of the maintenance and it was completely prepped by him and Tony with the only exception being the Ohlins suspension that was set up by Mike Fitzgerald (Thermosman).
This bike was dyno'd at the Road America AMA round and we were informed by the dyno tech that our bike was putting out more power than some of the factory bikes. Mark is able to achieve these kind of numbers without sacrificing the longevity of the motor.
Highlights:
Engine – Hand ported (184 hp on Factory Pro Dyno)
Yosh Kit Generator ($2500 kit part)
Galespeed Type R lightweight wheels (White)
Brembo Rotors
Brembo Calipers
Brembo RCS master cylinder
Ohlins 25's prepped and maintained by Mike Fitzgerald
Ohlins TTX prepped and maintained by Mike Fitzgerald
EM-Pro with Kit Shifter
Bazzaz Z-FI Fuel Control Unit with Traction Control
•Chassis built by Tony Pogue
•Vesrah Brake SRJL or SRJLXX
•SS Brake lines
•Graves Full Titanium exhaust
•DID Erv3 chain
•Vortex sprockets
•Woodcraft Clipons
•Woodcraft Rear Sets
•Armour Bodies Bodywork with custom vinyl wrap (tank is yellow in photos but it is wrapped now)
•Cylinder head milled and Serdi Valve job
•Vesrah .45 Cylinder Head Gasket
•Vesrah Clutch, with custom slipper adjustment and reaction springs
I also have tons of spares for the bike, too much to list here but I can compile a list if you have interest in purchasing.
Buyer will receive custom wrap (design of their choosing) $1350 value
This is a bike that is well set up and as such it obviously is going to be more money than other GSXR 1000's, but you get what you pay for.
Here is pricing with options:
$14,000 as listed
$12,500 without the Brembo rotors and calipers
$11,000 without the Brembo rotors, calipers and Galespeed wheels
$9750 without the Brembo rotors, calipers, Galespeed wheels and yosh kit generator
Pics will be coming in the next day or two
Please PM me for more information.

Unless something has changed since I did it, $0 - but it's nto a full trackday. it's a 20-minute demo session on the bike, with your pace (somewhat) limited by a control rider.
If you're all over their back wheel, they'll either speed up or wave you by though.
You are correct sir.

WOW...what a great turn out from OR!!
You guys showed up in force and took over the middle of the paddock, it was very cool to see so many OR riders at a NESBA day. Having the weather cooperate (for most of the weekend) was a huge bonus as well!
Thanks to all that came out for the day, we appreciate you spending the day/weekend with us at Putnam and we hope to see you back on August 14th and 15th.

As a track newb, I have some questions.
I am looking for instruction, not just "open track time". Ive been to Putnam, as an observer. Didnt get there early enough to see how detailed they were in their instruction, but didnt get the impression it was really a teaching type event. When looking at the Mid Ohio site (never been) it looked like thety were pretty heavily focused on instruction/teaching.
For those that have been to both, is one better than the other for teaching a newbie how to ride on the track? (Or otherwise. Ive been riding on and off for almost 30 years, but still feel like a newbie in so many aspects)
That said, I plan on going to Putnam on the 13th unless someone tells me that Mid Ohio is just SOOO much more of a training school. Not sure if Ill be on the ZX7 or the ZX10 yet, but def plan on going.
I saw a few guys asking about 1 day trips. Ill only be doing one day, and am from Dayton. I have a trailer, but think it would only fit one bike. If that helps anyone let me know.
You won't have a problem getting the instruction your looking for. In addition to the beginner meetings, NESBA has a ton of excellent controller riders that will help you throughout the day.
I'm sure you will not be disappointed if you attend on the 13th.

ok so a little peeved here.. ive been calling brian since thursday to sign up like we talked about on tuesday and still nothing... i will be extremely pissed if this sells out before he calls me back....
I was at Blackhawk for the CCS races on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
No worries though...we got ya taken care of.

Autobahn is far superior...
I run a BHF event there once per year and the track is ok. If you want a quality track with a NICE paddock, showers etc then ACC is your place. And it's 3-4 hours closer to you if you coming from Ohio
Nesba runs a good show at BHF (mind you they are STT's competitor and I think they run a good program too) but Im not BHF fan for a multitude of reasons. If you don't do BHF for the free credit then ACC is your track.
LOL....FAR SUPERIOR?
Come on Nick...lets be honest.
I'm sure you've noticed the brand new bathroom and showers constructed by Kohler a few years ago...or maybe the new tech shed or maybe the new concrete walkways that were put in.
3-4 hours closer? Were you planning on walking the last 50 miles?
From Columbus, BHF is an hour and 45 minutes beyond ACC and you don't have to deal with the construction hell like you do getting into ACC....you also don't have to pay to get into Blackhawk. Judging by the attendance numbers, many of the people in this area don't mind the extra drive.
Nick...for the record...I'm not a fan of ACC and skipped both events that NESBA had there last year. South and Full just don't do anything for me...North is about the only track I would consider riding at ACC.
-
seriously??
So, we have nobody here that's been to Blackhawk, or even heard anything about it?
This doesn't make me feel very good about going up there...
I LOVE Blackhawk....it's one of my favorite tracks.
I would highly recommend you checking it out.
Here is a video of me following Nate Kern last year on the (at that time) New BMW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3N2N-p-lQiM

I hadn't met you or Ron prior to Saturday, but I've followed the race write-ups for a while now.
Are you still the "slow guy on the team" when you beat Ron?
LOL...hopefully this year I will be able to do that more than once

Usually I'm just out there turning laps...I'm the slow guy on the team

sorry to hear about the hand. are you at least cleared to pilot a scooter?
Indeed I am:D
-
I apologize for the inconvenience but the raffle for the Mid Ohio days has been terminated.
Initially I was given clearance to run this raffle but after some more discussion it was deemed that this raffle could not continue due to an arrangement that NESBA has with Mid Ohio.
Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience and to help offset this raffle, I will now be raffling off FOUR spots for the Putnam event instead of two.
We appreciate your understanding and also for your support of NESBA.

already registered - see one of you there
Brian - will you actually be at this event? I've never ridden a 'MidWest' event, so Nicole(?) is the only CR I've met from the MW crew. She came out to Nelson once when Mid-Atlantic was short-staffed.
I will be there...sporting my broken paw...doc hasn't cleared me to ride:mad:
