Yesterday went for a test ride on a Street Triple, and had a bit of a nose round the showroom as you do. Couple of interesting things there.

Spondon ZX10R:

2005 engine, this build done in 2007. Actually, I don't think it's the prettiest thing Spondon ever put together.

Hiding in a corner:

and a new 1290 Superduke R, both of which they also had, and I could keep myself poor for a very long time!

Loving the machinery they have, so much porn!

I'd shoot the bloke that decided on flat green for the Spondon Kwak though. It should have been 70's Candy green metallic instead I think, and with a nice simple round headlamp or Cibies like the the famous Monster special.

I love the little TY50, but the RD500 sat there is sad to see, never used and so only good for a collector. It'll have fucked crank seals and need ££££'s spending on the motor to make it usable, so it's not even worth whatever they would ask for it IMO.

Not the end of the world, an engine can be stripped and rebuilt easily enough. The cost to do it would probably only be a tiny fraction of what you'd have to pay for the bike itself.
