New track bike at last

[clen666]

I agree, looks great

[Biker's Nemesis]

Yep, I'm pleased with the Pipe-Werx. The bike had its first service last week, all the fault codes have been sorted (helps if you plug stuff back in after taking it apart) so there's just the rear sets and engine protection to fit then its going on track somewhere in the near future.

Are you taking it to the dyno before its first track outing ?

Love the Kenny Roberts paint job, and always impressed with your (and others on here) mechanical knowledge/skillz. I am such a muppet with anything mechanical, I can only just check my tyre pressures. :-)

Check your what?

Bike looking really good BN

The Scorpion could wake the dead even with a baffle in. I was at Cadwell a few weeks back and there was a lad with a Piper Work exhaust fitted to his R1 which passed noise testing without the cat fitted.

I can't be arsed to keep removing the cat and then refitting when I'm doing UK or foreign days.

I like the look of the long can too.

Got any euro days planned this year on it? Where's its maiden voyage?

I will be sure not to turn up on the same day wearing the same outfit.

Not sure on both counts, I'm just playing it by ear.

The bike is stunning.

I went to Jerez last weekend where they were running a yamaha day. Was a normal track day but one of the groups was people getting turns on a load of R6's and R1's. One of the bikes there (but not included in the riding) was an R1M with that same paint scheme (or very similar)... and it's breathtaking in person.

I don't think pics do it justice, and it looks great in pics so...

[Gusto]

One question, do the speed blocks line up in real life/ is it just the camera that makes them look a bit, wonky?

Still like it, a lot.

[Tim85]

Dream bike for a lot of people there bn. Enjoy, its a lovely looking thing. Any plans on a change of wheel colour or leaving them blue?
