Cheers, yes - was out there for work for a few days, but turned it into a week and hired the honda - I think it was around £18 per day - if anyones looking for somewhere to do a riding holiday, the trodos mountains/surrounding area have some of the best hairpin/up-down roads I've ever ridden and zero traffic! (In november).

Where did you rent from and did you rent your gear as well ? Mum lives about 20mins from Aiya Napa and i always struggle to find things to do when i'm there.

Recently picked my bike up from Highland Motorcycle Dyno. I had a PC5 installed and a dyno tune set up. Made as near as 139bhp and 73lbft of torque at the rear wheel. Very happy.

Got all my fairings back from the painters today. Just waiting on the wheels and subframe from the powder coaters and then I can finish putting if all back together.



It looks a bit dull and dark because there is no light on it. When the light hits it, it looks like this:

I had an E36 M3 in techno violet, similar colour. Very nice!

Cheers This one is a Lotus colour, Aubergine Purple Metallic. Big thanks to Srob for sending me the paint code

I'm hoping the purple will stand out more when the silver wheels and subframe are put on.

Can you change the colour of the number sticker?

Unfortunately not as it's decided by the ACU to represent the class of the bike. Superstock 600 is yellow on red background.

In theory I could classify it as a supersport bike and go for a white background with blue numbers, but I don't think that would look any better really.

graphene said:

Yeah, that red clashes (ooh-er, 'design-moment'). Can you try a cheeky border - may be silver or black?

I'm not sure if I can get away with a silver background with yellow numbers with a red outline. Trying to see if others have got away with it!

All bikes should be painted in lotus colours.

Really fancy chrome orange or toxig green for mine

Krypton or Isotope Green would look awesome on your bike!

Nice bike, I had one just like it, it was great until it went bang

What was the S1 Orange ???

Lava??

[srob]

Chrome orange I thought?

[mckeann]

It's been a few years since I got out of Elise's and into motorbikes, but I thought there was a different orange colour between s1 and s2. Every chance I'm wrong
