I had the 1992 version...1100 GSXR in the same repli-racer paint, with a couple of tricks. Great bike, but too heavy for stoopidfast fun. I'm a H-D guy and I loved the torque that 1100 pumped out and what a reliable motor. The newer, lighter variants with more HP are not calling my name...they're screaming it!
Ride safely! Both types of bikes!

Well, I will admit to having kicked two wimmenz to the curb in favor of cycling, but giving up drinking? My God, man! Have you gone daft?! /img/vbsmilies/smilies/biggrin.gif
Pro tip: Trade up to one with bigger tits, 10 years younger and with more money than brains.
No need to thank me. Living well is the best revenge!

Notice this yesterday when cleaning and looking over my bike. 1625mi later! 
had a good day yesterday though. did 55mi ride with some pro riders doing 20-22mph most of the way. my first time riding that far with out stoping for a break. Had my snack while riding. Anyway back to my wheel after doing some research, there are other people that have this happen to them as well. Any one here experience this with there ELITE'S ? I was on ZIPP website looking at the 404 training wheels. ZIPP claim 250lbs weight limit on all there wheels. On MAVIC website there are no info on weight limit for there wheels. My LBS will be calling MAVIC on monday for a replacement. But i am thinking about going with a deferent wheel company preferably domestic a one. less downtime incase there is a warranty issue. Other than ZIPP, what are some other wheel maker to consider state side? Also let me add i am weighing in at 218lbs down from 230lbs.

Simple: work with a wheel builder to get a custom set built for you using the rims, spokes, and hubs of your choice. Mavic wheels offer nothing over custom wheels. As a bonus, you can, with a custom set, get wheels that are built for the way you ride and what you need.
