Thanks John/all...I absolutely love the way its turned out.. Aim to be taking it to all the usual 2T meets next year.

Saw this initially on the facebook page, very impressive.

Missed the boat on getting a Gag bike, prices have gone high

,
Thanks..

Yes, I was lucky knew the former owner from way back but even so, you can get a very nice litre bike for what they go for now..

Nice...Never met him but he comes across as a really nice lad, always has a smile on his face anyway, what did you do to earn such a thank you then Mark?

Helped him out with a bit of funding to run the bike last year and acted as a mobile chicane for him to hone his skills on when we went flat tracking the other month.

Pal of mine came round just before the new year to drop a few things off to say thank you for last season.

He was in our Garage last year with his mate "mad peter" we call him.

Chrissy is a real nice lad, he pushed my bike into the van for me at the end of the day.

Is that an MT10 on the left? Different front end - I like it.

Didn’t like the 09SP then?

Shame they don’t fit that front end to the MT10.

No I have documented it on here a while back, the engine and riding position was great, the brakes were st and the handling was atrocious at high speed, it used to tie itself in knots and get a proper wobble on (in extremis) and it did little to inspire confidence and put me off it completely as it almost had me off a couple of times at a ton plus, at 6/10ths it was great fun to ride, which I'm sure is fine for most folk but when you are tipping into a bend at 3 figure speeds chasing the other bikes in the picture its not good enough

The screen was a £20 ebay special



It came like this



I thought it was a bit awkward from the front, and unlike a lot of folk I like the look of the MT10 (and will get one after the Z9RSC, probably)

^ I didn't even like the riding position!

Not bitter...

[rev-erend]

Jazoli - that screen really makes it look a lot better.

Thought I'd put some pics of my 2020 V4S up, which were taken when the PPF was installed.

It's now got a tail tidy, which improves the back end a lot.

Very impressed with the bike so far, but not going over 6k until after running in service (621 miles = 1000km).

After a good mate passed away in October (NOT COVID, incredibly), I was starting to test ride the 2020 1000cc sportsbikes (easier said than done), when lockdown hit us again, so with brexit looking and 2021 price increases looming large, I decided to let the heart rule the head for once. Was looking at a 916 Foggy edition, but didn't think the jump in price over the 2020MY bike was worth it and was offered a great deal to part ex my faithful GSXR1000K5.

















Hoping we'll have chance to get out and enjoy this year. Happy New Year BB crew.

That's lovely.

I've got a streetfighter v4 - still running it in as well.

I have the akra exhaust with remap and now have an evotech tail tidy, radiator guards and pillion peg blanking kit to go on, with the seat cowl coming in the next day.

Looking forward to getting it run in, but as it's on the corsa II tyres it's not too bad in the cold surprisingly

[ddom]

They are a very pretty bike, no question at all.

[Neal H]

Beautiful, beautiful machine. When not riding it I would park it in the house as a work of art, I could sit and stare at that all day.

Thought about the SF, but lack of wind protection put me off, even though the dynamics seems to be really good. I do deeply covet the noise the akra makes though, I am looking for a bargain slip on to replace the standard can!

Keep an eye on pipe werx Stu.

Thanks.

My attached garage is similar to in the pics, black tiled floor, whitewashed walls and with a large radiator to keep my toys cost.

I have found myself popping into the garage more than normal, but SWMBO would not allow it in the house.
