Me and my baby
Discussion
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'......
