Nope I sold the crap OEM ditch finder tyres within a week of buying the bike new. Fitted a set of Pilot Power to her instead, swapped the rear shock and fork internals for some proper Ohlins stuff and fitted some decent rearsets and a steering damper. (oh fitted a de-restricter, exhaust system and powercommander as well) That girl used to fly, she was limited to 186mph when new but with that little bit of engine work she was clocked at a fraction over 200mph

Whil'st Nostalgia is a wonderful dream....
And reading the riders comments
on the pick of bunch of strokers...
Mgtkr1...
In FAST BIKES... seems they were a tad hard..
And .... makes you think they rate these
against the modern missels..we know..
Its great to look back...
i know i have a garage full of dreams of
yester year...
Thats where it is....
They are slow...
and are nearly 20 yrs old..
so thats progress..
Hey who would have a Cortina 2ltre..with a kent engine..etc
against a Vxr vectra... and say the tina wollows...and
etc,,,,...

heres a couple of pics, shite quality mind. really need a proper camera rather than stealing my sons all the time. im a bit worried i might stumble accross summat i shouldnt!! he's suddenly grown up into a mini me. anyway, not sure if you can see the q/release brackets for fairing/tank and q/turn for the seat. i can have to full kit off in 30secs. try getting a gixer undressed in that time!

some cracking bikes, particularly impressed with the pipes that janbros slaved over. the dutch kr1s red/grey or silver? is very nice4 looking aswell. i need a deisel at some point to potter about on. something steady. not sure id have a beemer but if long distance work was on the agenda i dont think the big gs can be bettered by much from what i hear? also good for pretending to be ewan mcgregor or the other fella. carl boatman or summat?
