Wheels are a bit bling for me. Stunning bike though. I fancy the crossplane crank model myself but my wife won't let me keep mine and get one of them to go with it...lol

The Ram SRT10 in the background of the bike picture looks more interesting than the L200 - yours?

Had an L200 a couple of years ago now. Apart from being thirsty and having woeful steering lock they are a useful work horse.

Have you checked the front crank pulley? mine came loose and ate the cam cover, crank position sensor etc etc and is a common L200 issue. This usually results in the crank being damaged around the woodruf key so you cant just fit another pulley even if you're lucky enough for it not to have chewed its way through the cam belt.

It's very recently had a brand new crank pulley, as well as a brand new head and gasket, another weak point.Maybe mine junked it's pulley? (work done previous to ownership) Also had a new starter, cambelt kit, glow plugs, aux belts. Yeah lock isn't the best but i've had worse cars, ever driven a Clio V6 as the turning circle is worst i've had on a car?!

The Ram SRT belonged to the guy i bought the R1 from, i should have posted a more recent pic of the R1.
