The new pipe is very nice, but I have to be honest.
The shorter pipe looked more bad ass. Not the whole bulky pipe, just the short end barely sticking out.
Also, I wouldn't install a free-flowing pipe without the ECU flash, or Dynojet 5. Highly doubt the engine will be running right with the pipe change.
Just my opinion. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Smoker!
Everyone has different tastes in styling, I just didn't like the looks of the short ones. The only one I do like is on the factory MotoGP Yamaha's.
But I don't think my neighbors would appreciate the volume on that one!!
And I just hit the first service mileage, so after that gets done I'll be having the ECU flashed by

You say you like the weather down here. I like the green up there (although you pay the price with rain). We are about 50% and closing on all of the hills turning brown.
I'm glad to see you're enjoying that new bike. My son is about ready to get a new steed after his crash last fall. I have him convinced on FZ9. Is the engine on your bike the same exact engine? The more I look at yours the more I like it.
And as you know don't neglect that RZ. They're very temperamental when left unloved.
Yes Ken,
It's the same motor as the FZ 09. I love it, super smooth, lots of power and torque!!
And the RZ will be getting some much needed exercise very soon.....

Took the RZ out for a 40 mile loop today. Went over to check out the PDX Coffee & Cars in Wilsonville. This was their opening weekend and it was crowded!!
It's amazing how many people have so much disposable income to afford some of these cars....
Being a blue collar working stiff, I guess I'll just stick with bikes.
I got to talk with a few guys that were impressed with the RZ. One thought it was actually a Japanese import model.
They all wished they had kept the smokers they had in their younger days. I tried to get more pics, but the people kept getting in the way. August is when motorcycles will be featured and I'll be heading to that one.
Here's a few. Enjoy

Not sure what this was. Pretty cool though.
Now this I loved! Austin Healey with a 351 V-8 under the hood.
Late 30's Cord I think.
Love the color of this Acura.
More than a few of these Lambo's there today.
Looks to be a very expensive Benz!
The old trusty steed.
Talked to the owner of this RD 400 about all his engine mods and Spec II chambers.
Heavily modded Datsun wagon.
Cleaned up the XSR when I got home too.

You are correct about it being an Ultima Jon. I thought it was a "kit car" of some sort, but I was way wrong on that one after checking out your link.

Glad to see you got out on the RZ Charlie!
These bikes get a bit of attention don't they?
Same car?
And a bonus video

Ken,
Yeah, that would be the same car. Different color and maybe options too. I guess it just depends on how much money you want to spend on it!

Nice "green" Charlie. We are about 95% brown now.
Great pics. Sure would like to go up there for a ride some day!!!
I was watching XSR videos the other day. Nobody seems to have much negative on that bike. And they seem to like to wheelie
I want (need?) one. A yellow and black one

Another trip on the RZ today to Wilsonville for the Coffee and Cars. Last time I went I didn't get any pics because it was really crowded.
The one car I did see there that week was this one....it takes a pretty fat bankroll to drive one of those!!
Enjoy the pics...
This car belongs to Alan Hartman who is a Studio Manager for Turn 10 at Microsoft. I believe they made the Forza GT game for Xbox.
This truck had a nice V8 with Tri-power carbs on it.
Nice Stingray
The Zed and a nice Beemer
Another smoker
Not sure what this is, but it looks like it came from the TV show Fantasy Island.
Really clean Ford Falcon
Beautiful car
Pretty nice Datsun Z with a Ford Cobra V8
Some hooligans were there too
AC Cobra
Sweet Vette
A really clean RC-51 rolled in just as I was leaving.

I got out for another ride today on the XSR. I rode up to the Vista House on Crown Point in the Columbia River Gorge. Another gorgeous day in the PNW.
The wind was blasting pretty good up there.... probably 30-40 mph gusts. I was a little worried my bike would stay standing when I walked away from it.
Lots of windsurfers down on the river having a great time too.
Here's the pics......
A couple of MotoGuzzi's
Another viewpoint farther down river.
