Mine and the wifes today

Although it;'s up to you to decide which is which...

There's nothing more beautiful than a 749/999 shape with a grey swing arm

That Sport is a stunner though (a real beast), I absolutely love the Termi end-cans. Gratz on your new purchase

[Bionicle]

Both look top notch

Bikes look amazing. Love the 749, but the classic has the edge for pure cool.

Regards,

Happily, it really works for me too. I've not written much about it on here, basically though it's a bloody incredible bike.
I've the last 3 and a bit years i've owned 14 bikes including this. From R1's, to Tuonos, Superdukes, Supermotos etc etc. The list is long and full of great bikes. However, none of them captured my imagination since giving up racing.. i sold my 916 when racing which was tricked out and really did it for me... After that, i kinda lost my way with bikes, hence buying so many machines, none of them lasting more than 3 months, the last before the Sport Classic actually made it 3 months, however that was over winter and i only rode it once before selling hahahaha.

The sport classic though turns me into Hailwood, Agostini and all other racers.. but without the speed of course. But i get on it and i transform 50 years in time, the passions, emotions and smiles are there every time i even look at the bike, let alone sit on it... it's just an amazing amazing machine.

It's helped me find my motorbike mojo again... for that i'm eternally grateful to the bike.

Spent a bit of time this morning with the DAS6 polisher to see how it comes up.

Having ridden both,.....I'll take the Harley in the background.

Damn... only one of the bits i really wanted. Must admit though, the tank pad is EXCELLENT and fits lovely with the bike,.
