That is one hot bike Jasper (even compared to your 748 that I saw at Nelly's). Now if I can just pursuade Nelly to swap your engine for mine.....

Very nice mate !!!! Its funny, all my riceburner riding mates thing that suspension arm has been painted coz it looks odd, but I kinda like it !!!

I was a little disappointed with my triple after 5 years of 916 ownership, especially as I had to call it a day aftre my third session during its forst track day round silverstone because of appalling brake fade, but now ive fixed that (cast iron discs, radial mc and brembo billets), messed about with the suspension (mainly jacking the back up) it leaves me with a bigger smile than the 916 ever did !! And the 916 didnt used to set car alarms off with open cans..:lol:

Just need to fit the magnesium marchesinis now and shell be turning like a goodun...!!!!

Welcome back!!

Cheers for the appreciation guys!It's nice when your peers like your bike.:DJust waiting to get it back from nellys after it's service.It needed 3 new rockers!:(
The only mods to it are lightened flywheel,new chip,radial clutch and brake cylinders,8 pad calipers and slipper clutch.
