    Just intake and exhaust mods on this bike. Stock block.

    I hear ya. I'm sticking with intake/exhaust/tune on mine as well. I don't see a time I'd ever need any more power, and want to try to stay as reliable as possible since I'm already racking up on miles.

    This one already puts out 140rwhp as it sits. Not quite as much as my old R1, but enough for the street.

    There is no need to build any bike motor unless you are racing - it's cheaper just to buy a newer bike, and they come out with more power each year.

    As for personal touches, this one is on overkill on that. Almost every part of the bike has been changes or modified - even the frame/swingarm is not stock. There's a lot more than people notice.

    I hear that. My bike is staying pretty stock, I had the suspension reworked, some bolt on power stuff, some stuff that just fits my own taste aesthetically that most hardcore riders would probably rag on me for... but they don't have to ride it, and just some small touches to make it how I wanted it. I'm not a diehard track guy by any means, but I plan on building an R6 for track day thrashing.

    Same way I am. Making my bike my personal vision.

    I did find a company that makes a GP exhaust for my ZX6R though so I may go with that one instead of the Two Bros twin system.

    Competition Werkes makes it. Get your license and I can get you a job. Not really any such thing as an EMT +, just Intermediate or Paramedic.
