The -06 Over Racing FZ1 that won its class at the 06 Suzuka Hr is being retired and the parts have come up in local auction.

Ridden by Makoto Suzuki and Hiroshi Toyoda, and running in the XF1 Formula Extreme class against R1s, Fireblades, etc.

Some interesting facts from miscellaneous parts :
1. 07-08R1 CDI igniter
2. Can see an 07-08 R1 Speedo/meter in the pics
3. R1 stem and top-bridge?
4. Radiator piping?
5. Unfortunately, it's lost the brakes, wheels, rear fender and who knows what else in old age :-(
5. But of course, the standard rear shock is in 'like new' condition :-D

Farewell old Warrior!

oyly : 4/5
oyly : That\'s right! Was going for 4/5 today when I crashed, got really close yesterday! ;-)
theDude : 3/5?
oyly : 3/5
oyly : Ripping it up @ Suzuka under blue skies! :-)
oyly : Drove all the way from Motegi to Sugo, and 20% chance of rain just turned into 100% chance of rain.... :-(
oyly : It\'s up and down. Yesterday when the race was it was a beautiful 27 degrees. None of the forecasted rain. The cloud cover and morning fog seemed to cool things down nicely!
theDude : At sugo, eh? hopefully less warm then down here!
oyly : :-D
tougewolfman : Good stuff mate!
