Streetfighter VFR, recognize who's bike it is?

Saw this bike at Miller Motorsports Park back when I was working at MMP when they opened up. It was at a track day sometime in 2007.

Was always curious who the owner was. Very cool looking concept that could be made cooler with a little cleaning up. Image the seat, tank and front fender color matched. Paint the wheels a diff color. Put a smaller headlight on it, polish up the headers.

 

Very nice..... Hey,do you still live in UT?

Yes still up in northern Utah. I'm working on a Speed Triple wrecked build up project right now.

 

Cool, own a home in Herriman and lived there from 2005 to 2010. Saw Spies at Miller spank everyone the year before moving on up to the big boys. All I had to do was get my 4 wheeler and take a road from Herriman up and over the mountain range and be at the track in 20 minutes.

 

I lived in Tooele for 6 years and worked for MMP. I now live in Eagle Mountain and work in Orem. Butterfield pass is the road over to Tooele side from Herriman and I know and have ridden/driven it many times.

What bikes you riding now?
Here is one of the latest projects...still a work in progress.

 

Thought for a minute you bought Ari Henning's test bike!

Thats it, Butterfield pass, past the Kennecott mine. Always loved those triples, especially the frames, low miles?
Just riding my 2002 VFR, I'm not OOTVS with money burning a hole in my pocket and having THREE bikes.Ha ha, jealous much?

 

If I wasn't doing a triple streetfighter, it would be a VFR. They have the two best sounding engines made.

 

One of my good friends rides a tastefully modded 2012 Speed Triple. He let me take it out on the Natchez Trace last September, and it felt like it was going to tear my arms off at any RPM, in any gear. I know two or three other guys who've bought Speeds in the last week, and I can totally see why; they're fun as hell.

And I've gotta admit, as wacky as that wheel color is, a black bike with day-glo wheels always looks great.
