Yes - exactly as shown in the article :P

other than marcs wjheels, what diff is there with the foggy and sps versions? Seem the same to me

[antonye]

Foggy reps were built especially for Moto Cinelli (the UK importer at the time) and only came into the UK rather than being a world-wide release.

They had carbons fairings and the Foggy-rep sticker kit I believe.

Basically a tricked-up SPS.

The Foggy rep has a different frame. It was built to homologate a new frame required for the bigger airbox.

Ahh, but I didnt realise the article said that so instead of just clicking the link I searched high and low for the Haynes manual and quoted that (with the exception of the dogs danglies) :P

(message to self, must remember to read all of thread in future! ) )

cool - didnt realise they had carbon fairings, thought it was only laq sticker job, wheels and diff plaque on the yoke...deffo didnt know the frame is different. Is it just diff to 97-98 sps or all 9** range?
