So after seeing pictures of the NC and GSXR in the other thread it would be interesting to know which other rare and special bikes we have lurking on here? Pictures get extra Kudos Razz

My ZXR750M2. This is the hologomation version that comes with close ratio gearbox, flatslides, ally tank and adjustable swingarm pivot as standard. Although mine is now far from standard, only the frame and fairing are the original parts Very Happy

Well it depends on the accuracy of the dot on the profile map and how easily you can get a post code from that, but as its big enough to cover a 10 sq mile area it doesn't really give a lot away, according to my profile map I live in the whole of Norwich.

Looking at your profile you actually live at sea Smile

Fairly rare, but they still made something like 225 of them plus the closely related YB6 and YB8.

All the best

I believe the difference between the pro and the standard is £100 and :

Description:
The PRO version uses inverted Showa 35mm forks, Galfer wave disc brakes front and rear (300/200mm) with double piston calipers, LED rear light, mono gas rear shock absorber with alloy remote reservoir, alloy rear sets, and digital dash.

Edit :

Price difference is £150, pardon me

Place near Pembrokeshire in Wales is a dealer for them, rare but because they aren't widely known. It will turn heads for:

"Oh, what is that thing?"

not

"Oh WOW, look at that <x>! It's such a rare bike!"

Depends how you want to look at it. Wink.

To be honest, not to worried about turning heads Smile It has been a perfect little learner for me. Got it on sale as the RS3 was being released in Spain when I got it so it was cheap. It handles nicely (for a 125, yes yes I am aware big bikes feel better etc). Cheap as chips to run. Thats what mattered most to me Smile

That and I really wanted a happy faced bike.... Embarassed

Does a paint job count? I can't find another cbr600 in my colours, found one blade in the same colour but that is the closest I have got.

If you guys say it counts then I shall ad a picture.
