Quite an interesting history in that she was actually built and owned by K2 racing, usually prepare radicals and the like for racing (have done some lemans stuff), and built there as a side project. As such, the work would have cost nearly 5k, but they could do it for much cheaper hehe. It stops like nothing else I have ridden, and even with the longer gearing will power wheely nicely in second and clutch up in third and fourth wooo. Only things it needs are a non aluminium, slightly less illegal numberplate and a speedo!

Also came with the full enduro kit, a full set of sprockets, a whole set of yellow body panels and as a bonus, the enduro rims have michelin competition enduros on them.

Beautiful bike, maybe it's the winter that's doing this to my head but recently supermotos have looked more and more attractive! Thumbs Up

They are fun in winter. This thing is sliding about already and it's not even properly cold down here yet.

Lol, it was parked up with a CRF450 supermoto and a Husaberg today when I left it in town, there was more pimp and bling in that 5 sq ft than there is in the entire of Snoop dogg's video production run.

You can have a good fuckin go. I think it could do with downgearing a bit, it'll pop up in first and second piss easy off the throttle but they are so long it's easy to get carried away with the speed and end up doing 50-60 on the rear wheel when you weren't wanting too.

Yeah, thought you looked familiar but wouldn't have known it was you. That SP1 was very, very dirty! In a good way.
