Frame, wheels, grips, seat pad, headlight bucket all different and there wasn't just 155 made, 155 for the US market, less power to meet emissions but carbon bodywork and signed tank, Euro spec "S" Engine but plastic bodywork. Bostrom rep isn't a race rep also due to tobacco advertising (L&M) it's a rep of his lid.
Also the Bayliss/Bostrom reps have Ohlins forks over the standard S model |
so how comes the one i was gonna buy had plaque with **/155 on it?
ps it didnt have carbon bodywork or signed tank either
it was a uk bike!!  |
You're getting confused here!
They made 155 for the US market, but because the S motor didn't meet emissions they had to put the standard (non deep sump) motor in the bike, but because of less power they made up for it as it got carbon bodywork and the US bikes had the tank signed.
The Euro bikes (another 155 of them), did get the S motor, so plastic bodywork and the tanks weren't signed.
So you do have a bike with */155 and plastic bodywork and an unsigned tank - a UK bike
