Thanks for all the info everyone, very helpful.

I am going to see the bike this weekend and see what it is like.

It needs paint and that Black and red colour scheme is fab. Definitely food for thought.

Cheers

Brian

if you are happy packaging them up then speak to Mike at TripleCPaintwork in Wokingham, his work is second to none, he recently painted every square inch of my 996, and does all my trackday panels, finish is better than factory.

For a more local solution Mike at Rage Designs is up your way.

What year is it?

Lol. These bikes are way more comfortable than more modern sports bikes, still very quick and handle well, don't cost £20k+ and won't fall into obsolescence when a TFT dash dies.

I'll have to ride some modern stuff to compare.

Revisiting this post as I have the bike now. Can I ask "do you know the colour code" for your paint scheme. That looks a much nicer red than some I have seen and I may replicate it when I spray the bike.

I am taking lots of photo's so once I make progress I will start another post just in case anyone is interested.

Cheers

It's the standard red option in 98/99 (you could get these bikes in green red or blue). I think it's called Candy Persimmon Red or something.

If it's an E1 then check for cracks in the frame particularly the top left roughly where the carbs are (but also the top right). It's a st design that was changed for the E2 onwards. The rest of the bike is great which is why I've had mine for 14 years.

I miss my F2 PN05 TDV.

Silver and Orange. Was a lovely bike.
