Yeah, Johns a member.
Looks like you guys over in the UK must've missed out on the black/blue scheme. :-k
I'm assuming that's his spares bike we can see the back wheel of in the pics.

The KR1R was only in Green/Black. The Blue/Black was the C1 model IIRC and we never got that in the UK. Big K were bussy flogging us the last of the B2 stock and we just got the C2and C3 in the UK.

South African KR1S (blue)

Post by John Sapsed »

Hi Seems I need to answer some questions !
Yes I do have a spare roller which you can see in the back ground (rear wheel showing) unfortunately no tank and its been fitted with a KR1 front wheel, but here's the thing I have the fairing, beleive it or not that ones purple (does anyone know if that was a standard colour outside the UK).
The pipes I can't say that's the way I got them, but there's no obvious evidence of modification, think I'm right in saying the cans are standard.
And lurking in the back ground with good years on is the Speads RM08 single seater fitted with a GSXR1000 ( I have 2), my sons race them in Formula M, which would be Monoposto 1200 in the UK. If anyones interested you can see the car at www.speadsracing.co.za By the way I'm the manufacturer.
Finally I want to finish the bike and ride it on Breakfast runs but probably that will only be October as we are going into winter now.
Regards John.
