Looks like a 929 Blade 2001, first of the injected bikes



Looks a nasty bump

You're right, it is, 918cc RRW/RRX 98/99 model for sure.

First outing on the new bike. Was glad that my front brake rebuild seems to have worked.

It's a carbed one on a W plate, he's had it since it was a couple of years old.

Does anyone know what the white bike is on main image of this page?

Picked this up a couple of weeks ago. There was a local lad at our usual haunt who bought an identical one brand new, '83 A reg as well, saw it and badly wanted to change my X reg 350 for one but couldn't afford it. So now they've tripled or quadrupled in price it was time to finally get one.

Do you mean this one

Husqvarna Vitpilen - Basically a KTM 390 Duke in a fancy suit. There is also a bigger 701 version coming too.

I like that, had 5 LC/YPVSs (plus TDR) but never had the 1st gen YPVS - think they're relatively overlooked compared to the 350N.

Always amused at how the fairing hinges down.

Very nice, assuming the blue sky just means you're in the eye of the storm.

If the weather is kind to you, Scotland has to be some of the best scenery in Europe.

[Spanglepants]

Yes, did indeed, i recognise your mates new one as well
