Its easier for all us that are interested if you start a new build thread Kev.

Aye, faired sports bikes are fantastic. But just look at the Speed Triple, it's just fking beautiful. I could look at it all day! They need the high level exhaust cans. There is an option for having a lower routed exhaust, but it looks right with two big cans under the seat, showing off that SSSA.
My friend has just swapped his for a low mounted one and tbh it looks poo
Agreed - it just looks MEAN!

If I can't have an underseat exhaust next coolest is twin high level pipes for me, or twin mid level pipes. I hate the low-boy exhaust trend, unless built into the belly pan.

Went our for a ride ended up having a chat with some RAF boys that had broken down in a field. False engine fire warning light apparently. Really nice bunch - even took the photos my inner child wanted.

Fantastic!
If that picture doesn't want to make a person ride a motorbike, nothing will.

Me too!

Done loads of work from early this morning. Lazy day for the rest of today now I think. Popping into my gym for an hour soon. Maybe a ride out on the 600RR and possibly then back-to-back with the blade for comparison after lunch. Then plenty of cutting up firewood this afternoon before a few beers this eve.

Perfection smile

Nice that you painted the CBR in the 'copter colours!

Me too! Sadly no pic.

Took the 600RR out for a shakedown after its winter refurb. All seemed ok but the brakes are not strong enough.

Then took the blade over to grantham honda for a coffee. Fair play, it's more mental than i remember. lots of nice noises. Quality feel. Epic brakes too. Loved it. Decided i need to ride it much more, i should sell the bandit, and once i'm happy with the 600 should sell that too. The blade is all the bike i need

I went out too today for about 5 hours, did 165 miles. Wasn't cold, but it wasn't warm either, but it's getting there. Nice dry roads, the rain over the last couple of days has washed the salt and crap off the roads. Oh, and the road through Camber to Lydd is bloody fantastic biggrin

Other way round - they saw my riding and painted it yellow in my honour. wink
The mechanic's just making some "adjustments" to the engines on my suggestion to squeeze out a bit more power... biggrin

The original uploader of these pics suggests this NR750 has 0 miles on the clock. Amazingly, the retailer is asking the equivelent of $46k(US)! (Ignore the price tag shown)

Better get there quick if you've the cash - Possibly located somewhere in Wakayama, South of Osaka, Japan.

Still donning some of its protective film from factory
