In fairness, you went in talking about a CBR300 and then asked for a go on a Fireblade... Ask the BMW fella's about a F650 then ask for the keys to a HP4 and see what their reaction is.

I did pull in on a brand new r1 and said I wanted a winter run around so in my eyes I was potentially the perfect punter to push both bikes onto

it looks like this but isn't this bike

I hope it's arse isn't hanging off it like that one though....

They must have one of the ugliest arses as standard.

[Gusto]

Still struggle to find a reason so many do - some daft reg? R&G tidy is an easy fix though.

I've got the d3 one on mine, really tidies it up.
I'm sure MTB a said the one he's getting has an R&G one fitted.

[moanthebairns]

it has an R and G tail tidy but I think ill swap that for a d3 as it really looks cleaner

[Gusto]

Good stuff! Enjoy it.

C&U regs, the tyre must be covered to a certain degree off vertical. At least that's what I think it is.

might sell the low boy and get underseat arrows..

get ride of the R&G tail tidy and get a T3 one.

And get the tax disc to fk

Looks nice.
Low boy keeps centre of gravity lower and as one can less weight.
What is the difference between the tail tidies? We have the R & G on our 2014 Street R.

That looks really good, the tail tidy goes fine with the low boy, you get different ones to suit the exhaust.

The D3 tail tidy for using with the lowboy looks much the same as the one fitted.
My D3 one is totally different because I still have the underseat cans.
I can't seem to upload a picture just now unfortunately.

Lovely. I really need to get a tail tidy for mine.

Someone down the road from me is selling a Skoda like your model for £750 - want me to put an offer in for you to complete your obviously dream garage?

I have the remapped Taxi already. Its a beast! Its actually "quite" quick, certainly very little troubles it on the road.

Great choice. I've seriously considered a Street Triple R for the road. I just wouldn't use it enough.

By the way - Oulton Park open Pitlane next month is only £79 if you fancy it!

might take you up on that I have loads of days to take so might just go for that seeing as its so cheap. Still need to get the Daytona back together right enough.

You could always just chuck the road fairings back on.

Get it booked! 18th of November with MSV. Worst trackday organiser there is but it's cheap for Oulton.

I need to get a baffle for the Triumph. Only just gets through at Cadwell.. Will never pass at Oulton.

It's more if it's snowing here I'll need to watch.
