\'89 851 recognition.

Tornadoracing,
You say that you are not sure which model you have.I'm guessing its an 851 Strada.
The '89 SP was made purely for the Italian sport production (SP) racing series.I dont think many,if any made it over here.It looks identical to the Strada with Marzzocchi forks and shock.The giveaway is the SP has an oil cooler.I think there was about 100 made.Your bike is more likely to be the more common 851 Strada.
The SP2 did'nt appear till 1990.
Sorry to hear of your crash,hope you get the bike and yourself sorted soon.

Hi Gareth (tough luck on the highside mate)

Re; Strada vs SP

As Keefy says, the SP has an oil cooler - Strada doesn't. It also has Ohlins upside-down forks (and rear damper) and a polished aluminium (rather than steel) subframe beneath the seat unit. SPs have fully floating 'loose' disk brakes too (which rattle something awful when the bike is pushed!) Exhaust downpipes are 45mm on SP (42mm on Strada). SP has drilled clutch cover.

If you're still unsure though, find a quiet 'B' road somewhere and cane the engine. Strada will roughen @ 9-10,000rpm. If its an SP the steering will go extremely light, and it'll hit 11,000rpm quicker than you can say "bl*****dy 'ell!"
