So after working on the Skorpion for 2 days stright we finished it at midnight before the races so I could race :D
Little scary togo on track with untested bike but was hoping that we did good job :D

Must say that the front end from CBR600 F3 was working absolutely flowless :) and the braking power was "brutal"!
Had to go easy on the brake but it was a big improvemant compare to the old brake.
Used also the rearsets (woodcraft) from SV650 as someone sugested here on the forum and they are great also. Just will have to order longer shifter as my foot could hardly fit there.
The raised seat was great too!
Will post some pictures soon!
Managed two 8th places, 6th and 2nd :D
But the main focus was to beat most of the SV's and Kawi 250's. Must say that I left behind me most of them, even that it was frustrating that they will pull away from me so fast on stright, but in turns they had no chance :D
This bike is like on rails in turns!!
Great weekend and can not wait for the next races now! Some more improvemants coming :D
And I have to clean my bike from all that sticky champagne the guys sprayed on me for that 2nd place when I returned to the pits :-D :-D
Will keep you posted!

Thank you, thank you :)
And yes, it's the Motoforza bodywork. Just did not have time to finish the lower so I was running without it but it will be there by next race :D

Also regarding the seat, we shortened the subframe and welded brackets to hold the seat higher.
Now that I have the bike home I will make some pictures :D

I know exactly what you mean... :wink:
I'd love to have one of each version.
My wife would kill me if I show up with another, though.... :D
