Just bought a new bike!!!!

[_topcat]

Picked up my new toy last night. A lovely yellow 748.
Trouble was my first ride was a long one. 140 miles, oh and it was snowing the whole way.
Great bike but i shalnt ride again until its dry!!!
PIcks to follow.

Time to organise a "yellow 748 track day" I'm sure v-twin will come and play

Good choice sir

[andy4200]

Mmmmmm I like them.
I was offered one last year at a very good price but I hadn't even passed my test yet!!!

Enjoy

Would i need to chip the bike if i fitted the termi cans? I dont want more power, just the beautiful noise.

[Davel]

With my Multistrada, they said that you needed the chip with the Termis - so probably yes!

If you want it to run properly.

mmm... do it, do it... oh that noise...

[_topcat]

Ok thank you everyone, ordered a chip from the local dealer. Just waiting on the cans now. The dealer are offereing to put it on the dyno for £45 too. Just to check the chip is delivering the best it can.

I cant wait!!!!

[Incorrigible]

Which termis did you go for ??

[_topcat]

Well there are some sets on ebay. I am hoping to get the 45mm as these are more widely used on the 748.
Do you have any recommendations?

[Incorrigible]

I'm not sure it makes a huge amount of difference on the 748 as long as you get the correct chip

I've got the 54mm ones on mine, It came fitted with them. They sound the bussiness

54mm!!!!! i didnt even know they came that size. wow.
I will let you know what i get. im sure the noise will be great whatever size i go for.
Your bike looks great. do you get on the track often then?

[richie_few]

Thats lush!!!!!!

[Incorrigible]

Ta,

It's much dirtier than that now, I hate cleaning stuff

I did a couple of track days last year (first ever knee down at Brands ) I hope to get at leat one in this year, but I'm campainging a Caterham so may not be able to afford it (or justify it to the Mrs)

We do weekend ride outs Sussex Surrey Hampshire, have a look at motophycosis.com when this weather gets a bit better

Where are you based

PS just looked at your profile, nice toy collection

[_topcat]

I m based in devon but my parents are in basingstoke. Thats where the bike is from too.

Oh and this is a new toy to tinker with in the evenings. 1966 125 super!

Oh well that didnt last long. What with one of my boats being stolen and the brokers messing around i have to sell the Duke for solicitor fees. I wish i could keep her just to look at in the garage, she is stunning. If anyone knows of anyone to take her away from me (for the right amount of cash) then get in touch.

Well, as no one wants it. I'll swap my MX5 for it!

[_topcat]

Thanks for the reply.
