They'r brilliant, when you get up close to them, they've got stuff on them you just don't realise from photos etc, and some of it I could not work out tbh!

IMHO the very best of the super exotics at the minute, all things considered, and almost a bargain at £18k.

Well done BN, and well done using it as it was meant to be, be interested to see what you are planning with it transformation wise. It's got to be anniversary yellow!!

I've got fairings rear sets, crash protection, carbon frame and swing arm protectors, radiator and oil cooler guards and of course a de cat and pipe to go on...and a tail tidy

You've got younger, put weight on and got yourself a tattoo to celebrate then ?

That's Paul25 off here, he'll be pleased you've said he looks younger and I am pleased that you have also noticed hes a fat fker.

Awesome machine.

Very nice BN and hats off to you for having it as a track tool, personally I'd be stting myself riding £18k worth of bike uninsured on track, I'd probably spend more time cleaning it than riding

[mckeann]

Very very very very very very nice mate. Can't wait for a shot, when you planning on getting out on it???


I miss riding my bike. Still haven't sorted the ste job situation yet but I'm itching to get out riding again when I do get a chance.

Congratulations BN, when she's track ready get some pics up - will look mega. Have fun.

Very, very nice John

[Sebo]

Congratulations BN, supposed to be fabulous and am sure it'll feel special too.
A fair amount of cash but as someone else posted, almost good value when you add up what's on there.

Looking forward to a write up once you've stretched its legs

[J B L]

What's their story by the way? Were these 2 for the French market but UK dealer snapped them up eventually?

I can't see these selling too well in France to be honest. Good thing the 106bhp law is over . You'd be miffed!

[Johnny50]

Absolutely well and truly jealous!!
Well done John.

Awesome John - didn't realise you were waiting for an M model!

What's the deal with the brakes on these when tracking them? Do people still run the linked UBS ABS system or unplug the lot and put a set of lines from the master cylinder to the calipers in an old fashioned style? What do the Superstockers do - they can't just stick on Brembos top and bottom?

[StuB]

Fantastic. Congrats. Can't wait for your impressions on it.

[Superhoop]

Final destination France?? Does that mean it'll be left hand drive?

Lovely bit of kit, very jealous

Stand up wheelie - facing backwards , in the style of Russ Abbot , please..

[Walter Sobchak]

Lovely bike, congrats mate, although I have to say you're a brave man using something that expensive as a track bike, enjoy it, and let's hear what it sounds like with the decat on it.

I have more concern for hurting myself than damaging a bike, of course damaging it wouldn't be great but its only a bike after all.

Nice one John.. An M to boot!!

I know you'r e a fully paid up Yamaha fan but they are cracking bikes. There's a ton of them here at Phakisa today on all manner of pipes and they sound lovely.
Just not as lovely as the V4 you understand

Enjoy mate, she's a stunner

Cheers Steve.

BTW, you're gonna have to read up on the electronics for me and tell me how to work the thing.
