fking about, new filter and re lined the tank on the beast.

Looking good - I might have missed the thread, but what is it? Not a silhouette I recognise.

Finally finished, 7 hours on Saturday, 5 on Sunday and then from 9am to 9.30pm today.

All it needs is a polishing, the panels are straight out of the loft after 7 years.

I think I am going to keep it for a road bike, its not worth selling it.

Looking good John, its difficult to see the hard worked worn out old track slag underneath

I bet that's never seen a drop of snow foam

I posted the full spec a page or two back, but it's a RSV Mille

I know, the clutch is knackered, the wheel bearing and engine are knocking and it smokes more than a dirty ho.

I bet you're right.

Looks brand new - you'll have somebody along any minute now offering you the very top money for the cleanest bike in the world ....it can happen ..,

Just had a look on the bay. 5VY's seem to be going for good money still. I bet there aren't any for less than £4.5K that are anywhere near the condition that's in

I'm not sure they are that strong - I'd bite someones hand off if they offered me that for my 12k mile immaculate one. I have the seat and passenger pegs back on it now too

Looks great.

Does the front brake line just hang loose like that?

it does, they don't rub against anything, I may re fit the standard brake lines with the fittings, the Goodrich lines have been on the bike like that for the past 7 seasons on track.

I still have the standard brake lines and all the fittings so I may go down that route together with a standard pitch chain and sprockets.

Hmm, might have to start looking at insurance costs for these, might be an option for a summer weekend bike...

Edit: 2006 R1, £674 a year fully comp (£550 excess) - 4000 miles inc. commuting, licence not held for a year, 1 year NCD, garaged
