Red Rocket: 2012 Red Derbi GPR

For my Adventure Japan trip I picked up this 2012 (2011 model year) Red Rocket. While it was used it only had 520 Kilometers on it. This is one of the last GPRs made. Derbi did make an all black GPR livery with the same chassis, but my bike had to be red.

Currently the bike is in Yamanashi waiting for the many upgrades, and then the adventure will begin.

The upgrades in the works for this bike are fairly extensive, and will include suspension, brakes, engine, tires, and maybe some extra fun stuff too.

The Plan

Brakes
  • Brembo RSC14 master
  • AJP black four piston caliper
  • NG 1103 300mm floating disc
Suspension
  • Malossi F38R forks
  • Upgraded shock
Engine
  • TRT 2Fast 100cc Euro3 top end
  • TRT 2Fast 47mm crank
  • TRT 2Fast pipe
  • TRT 2Fast bearings/seals kit
  • Polini PWK 28mm
  • Top Performance PWK intake manifold
  • Stage6 V-Force reeds
  • Power Dynamo ignition
Misc.
  • Domino throttle
  • Mitas MC50 tires

Red Rocket: As Seen on GooBike

Here are photos of the bike as posted on GooBike by the Moto-shop in Sendai Japan. Apexmoto was able to effect a transfer to their Moto-shop in Yamanashi via AucNet. This worked out quite well as they were able to get the bike shipped nearly 500KM for around only $90!!

The TRT 2Fast arrived today. Truly gorgeous. These photos don't do it justice, but don't fear when I do the build next month I'll make sure to reveal their true glory. For now though you can get a taste.

Red Rocket: Getting Kurvey

A nice package of goodies from KurveyGirl showed up today. ❤️ Inside the box was the Brembo RCS14 front master, a Brembo reservoir, and some fancy black angled tire valves. One of the really cool things about Kurvey is that they include a tygon hose, a titanium banjo bolt, and crush washers. Since the RCS come with an included brake light switch this is pretty much a turn key package.

Because I'll be modifying the engine I ordered two sets of gaskets from EasyParts. I also thought it might be a good idea to carry a water pump repair kit—just incase. ;)
