Fun times ahead...

Minter, bought her for £1600 (bit OTT) but only has 7k on the clocks with FSH, sweet f.a marks on her and in generally tip top shape. Has had a very easy life this one. Brakes are absolutely dire so will rebleed them and if no improvement, get braided lines put on. Polish the downpipes if I can be bothered.
Twin mivv carbon cans ordered already, just like last time.

Tucked up in bed beside the VFR. Current conundrum is which one to keep. Or whether I can afford to keep both. Both are great in different ways. The VFR suits me more as I bimble instead of speed and the V4 engine is gorgeous. However, the hornet shall satisfy the need for noise and speed that I occasionally pine for.
Hmmm... |

Hornet... god, you and Molotov are going to be bumchums now! Chris (big ham) will probably roger you too!
FYI... I've already purchased Greg's VFR400 since i never had a 400 as such!
But, as per usual, i had to have a jolly in messing up a mate's ebay! lol

LOL pwn3d!
Please do not pay too much attention to my favourited shortcuts on the menubar!
Edit: Looks like BCF resized it! The feedback i gave him was
"he gave me buttsex and i totally enjoyed!"

I think the previous owner cut the mudguard off up to a point and then put his own custom made bracket on. Very minimal.
Would have preferred to get one in black like yours to be honest but guess you can't have it all. 
Can't wait for the exhausts to arrive next week - the standard oem one is exceptionally quiet. |

i never really heard a standard hornet exhaust, my blue flame sounds gorgeous at about 6 - 9k (i think) in every gear.

So bought a nc30 and realised quite how good it was. Just done a London-Middle of Scotland-London trip over the easter weekend. Despite me feeling slightly uneasy about making it scream at 85-90mph all the way, it behaved perfectly.
