What happens when you leave two Italian bikes unattended?

They clearly give birth to a mutant love child.

Last night I went to see, and ultimately bought, a 2004 Kawasaki ZX-6R track bike.  The bike was previously owned by a regional racer who will be upgrading to a more recent bike.  Knowing the history of this bike, along with it having a handful of track relevant upgrades (suspension, brakes, steering) made this a pretty good deal.

I'm hoping to do 2-3 track days each season, starting next Spring.  Having done Fast Phase 1 several years ago, this should be a nice way to get back into track riding.  I'll just have to figure out how to transport this thing to the track ... but hey, I got all winter for that.

Now for the pictures...
