Default 12 Hour race XR6T

Saw this in QLD about the 5 March 2007.

Brand new, only been driven to have the cage dome, and then to a work shop at Nerang for tuning.

Pretty cool. I hope it kicks but.







It was off to Melbourne? next I think.

I wonder what they ripped out to keep the weight low.
