You don't say - that front brake looks like it'd do a better job than the flaccid anchors on my CBR600!

I must say that it doesn't look very comfortable to ride but I bet it rewards in the corners...

Nice but you must be really strong holding the bike on that hill with just one hand.

It's not a bad looking bike. It has decent tyres and brakes on it, it's just the engine that lets it down. It is quite unresponsive and has to be red-lined for any sort of enjoyable ride.

The other thing about this bike is its length. I'm sure my R1 is shorter.

Anyway, I musn't upset Mitzy by slating her bike, as it says in the title, it is her baby, and looks after it as such. She is also very keen to be hands on, wanting to know how to adjust the chain, check tyres,etc

She wasn't very happy with me when I took it out one sunny Sunday and told her I had got a whopping 78 mph out of it by red lining it and tucking in. It did take about half a mile to reach that though.

Maybe it needs an engine transplant? it looks very cool in a 'supermono' kind of way so get it a 400cc (or bigger) engine, be a good 'winter project'......

A nice idea, but with so many other things to do over winter, it's highly unlikely that I will have time

Added to that, Mitzy already has designs on a 400 Honda VFR/RVF, so it was be pointless other than satisfying a curiosity.

Yep-agree it looks nice. Is it finished in fly-catcher yellow?
