Dibble thats a picture of my original Harris Magnum 2 you have there, must admit I hopped off it pretty rapid like when it was roasted nuts time, didn't do much for the Alloy tank, plastic Keihin smoothbore inlet trumpets, wiring etc.

but was the "flux capacitor" ok ..?????

:P

[skidlids]

I suspect the Pulse transformer or the inverse diode stack


oops thats work getting in the way again

bear in mind Jewel is only about 18, so insurance on anything larger than 600 is going to be diffucult and expensive...if you can stretch to a tl ins cost, go with a 748 - would imagine the buying cost would be similar to a tl for an early model and much more fun

alternatively, why not try an early zxr750 - great bikes and fairly large so should fit you, again bit cheaper ins than the bigger bikes.....just a thought.

I think my TL1000S was group 14, there is one on Visordown for £2400 and I have seen them go for £2100 on Ebay this winter.

900SSie is group 13

Jewelly how about an ss750 or ss900?

19 paul.
have thought about the zx-7r and nearly bought one as it was going dirt cheap.
have a big soft spot for the TL 1000S,just its rep......just love the bike

yeah seen that one on VD skidlids,its a beauty,guy lives near to mogwai(honiton).

and also a big bonus is that i find its comfy the tl1000......much easier on my back.

insurance will be TPO,will be in garage.......very safe.
