I've got to say I'm a total convert. 140kg and 45bhp it a real hoot! Can't wait to get it on track

Wet weight is 163Kg, they added a load of weight (~10Kg) for the 2017 version which is a shame but I think it was required to meet the A2 power:weight limits.

I thought it was for the Euro4 exhaust as well? The advantage of the 2017- model is the digi dash.

Found a few old pics
First one taken the day i bought it
Second one with the at the time obligatory 2-4
Seat.
Last one is setting off to the Assen and Spa bike gp's. Bin liners were the cutting edge in waterproof luggage in those days
Suppose it still is but now hidden inside £500 givi panniers

A bit more detail in my “Ouch!” Thread, but the short version is its all going well.

Today would have been the 90th birthday of Bob McIntyre, who made the first official 100mph lap of the TT in 1957 on a Gilera 500-4.



That year the Senior TT was an 8 lap race, 302 miles, and McIntyre's winning time was 3.02.57.

This is a great post for us that are in the grip of winter. Sort of cheers you up.

Thanks for posting and keep the updates coming.

Great times,we rode down thru the black forest and Bavaria in the week between the races
The bikes on the trip were
Gs1000x2
Guzzi le mans
Z650x2
Z750
Z1000h
Laverda montjuic,which caught fire !
350lcx2

Dont think any of these will make Remals shortlist for his touring/trackday bike !

If you can't ride a two wheeled motorcycle without falling off buy a car.

Thats a bold statement.

You know what I mean.
That’s been created for people who are worried about the stability of two wheels.

Bit like bike engined cars. Fast sure but the engine would be more fun where it was originally.

P.S. I never knew you was “that” way. Good for you.

New track bike anyone?

After visiting the NEC show last week I've ordered a Svartpilen 701 for March.

[Biker's Nemesis]

That's a snazzy looking leg. Looks the same as mine.

Very heart-warming to see the look of excitement and tantric anticipation on your face.
