NEW GSX1100EFE
(GS1150) SECTION!
With the purchase of a yellow GSX1100EFE, Bral®,
already famous for his GixxerGarage,
has started a new section on RN(S)
which goes by the name of After-EFEcts.
As you will have understood by now this section will feature
all sorts of heavily modified EFE's.

Also Bral has bought a bright
yellow GSX1100EFE, and put his GSX-R750 aka. "The
Thing" up for sale.
So now we feature Streetfighters, SevenElevens, Katanas and

It seems Yoshimura has stopped producing parts for oil-cooled
GSX-R's. The dutch importer only had one exhaust system left
in stock and then it's all over. The yoshimura-rd.com
website doesn't sell any parts for oil-cooled bikes anymore,
but they do still make Bandit parts which are compatible with
the 1127cc engines. Last year I had much difficulty getting
an ignition cover and the flywheel cover never arrived.
Suddenly makes you realize you're riding a dinosaur which
is facing extinction.
btw. read today that the TL1000S is going out of production
too and Suzuki have no plans continuing with V-Twin sports
bikes. Damn, I love that engine.

I've stripped the Katana to measure up some running gear.
Mischa lent me a GSX-R1100 swingarm which should fit nicely
it's only 2mm's too wide which can be taken either off the

Suzuki japan has finally published the official website of
the GSX1400!
it uses fuel injection which produces a whopping 126Nm of
torque at 5000rpm but looking at the specs it's a completely
different engine design than a 1127 (six gears and a different
primary gear ratio)... maybe it's based on Hayabusa crankcases?
I think the chances are minimal it will fit into a GSX-R frame

Okay, it's time to reach for your agenda as we've got some
events in Holland coming up.
One you surely don't want to miss is Gixxerday 2001
on May 19th in Zwolle, Jasper from R-House put up a
website with al the
details. Be a smart guy and don't turn up on your Blade because
it'll get involved in a special kind of barbeque ;-)
Another event is held on March 10th, in Nieuw-Heeten
wherever that may be. It's a bike show with streetfighters
on show, only one problem... they forgot to invite people
who own -ahum- streetfighters. So if you've got nothing better
to do that day and you own a streetfighter please e-mail Dennis
Hutten. We'll get some more info about the event later

It's a bit battered but the engine carries some nice go-faster

I
had a little conversation with Ben Kennepohl of KicXstart
today about the cancellation of the Streetfightershow.
It seems that the MotoRai is coming with a whole new concept
this year, which KicXstart thinks will overlap too much with
their own show after attending the press announcement.
They might organise a streetfightershow in 2002 but for now
they think it's too big a financial risk for them. We all
regret it very much because it has allways been the event
of the year for us. Feel free to send
them an e-mail and express your feelings to them to help
them decide to get back on the right track for next year.

The

option today so you can type your favourite words like "suzuki

word "masturbation"!... because you'll go blind! ;-)
