Yazza54 said: I understand what makes these bikes so special, but are they supposed to be any good to ride? No idea. I'd imagine they make a pretty special noise. And they're a masterpiece. I doubt it'd be as 'good' as your R1 (or any current-ish 1000), but that's not always the point. A Monet isn't as good a wall covering as a can of Dulux, I know which I'd rather have cover a patch of my living room  Yazza54 said: Also just noticed the post above RIP Yep, sad to read isn't it - I'm sure he'd approve of us nattering bikes though

Hell I didn't even know the guy but it is saddening when you read his words, wishing for some nice toys for the future. One of the last things i remember him posting about was wanting to get out on the road more and get some more experience.

Were supposed to go for a ride but it got rained off, real shame. Just makes you think, reading the post about what he wanted to own next etc.

 I know it would never work, but I'd still buy one!  I own this but would buy another.  Childhood memories - probably wouldn't feel as quick as it did when I was 10 (on flat tyres)!  And an SP-2, just to prove I'm not a complete stroker...
