Just agreed to buy a lovely condition YZF 750SP Yamaha. It will see some action at track days and at VJMC events.

It looks just like this:

Ah Fergus he never ever ponces about. He has just done 5 days at Jerez on his OW-02 race bike on slicks, so at least his toys see regular proper use. No garage queens at his house.

Oooh handbags from Rupert Nords. One swallow does not a summer make old boy. I am glad that Suzuki have a bike capable of running at the front as it is boring to see one marque dominate. That certainly must have been the case in the 1960' & 70's when MV won 37 World Championships. Just remind me how many World Championships at GP level Suzuki have won, oh that'll be a handfull then.
