It was about time - I haven't bought a bike since May! Twisted Evil

Anyway, I won an R6 trackbike on eBay and have just got back from collecting it. It cost me £2,725 (sniped the auction with 4 seconds remaining! Laughing ) and the spec is as follows:

Arrow Forks have full Ohlins internals (oil, springs and re-valve)
Arrow Ohlins rear shock with remote pre-load
Arrow Extreme tech steering damper
Arrow High flow air filter
Arrow Harris clip-ons
Arrow Harris fairing brace and clock mount
Arrow EBC kevlar clutch plates
Arrow Braided hoses
Arrow Newly fitted EBC HH sintered front pads
Arrow Tsubaki 520XRG gold chain and renthal sprockets
Arrow Full stainless steel race system with Viper end can and dyno set up
Arrow 4 R&G crash bungs
Arrow Race products rear sets
Arrow Harris exhaust hanger
Arrow Alloy swingarm bobbins

Spares:

Arrow An unused set of Michelin wets on wheels with discs
Arrow Air intake ducts
Arrow Spare unpainted fairing
Arrow Spare radiator
Arrow Spare seat
Arrow Spare standard screen
Arrow Swingarm with standard hugger
Arrow Spare standard R6 rear shock
Arrow New and unopened set of brake and clutch levers
Arrow Spare clutch cover
Arrow Spare camshaft cover and new gasket
Arrow Spare starter motor
Arrow Spare set of 4 spark plug coils
Arrow New and unopened set of EBC HH sintered rear pads
Arrow Spare regulator/rectifier
Arrow Spare ECU unit
Arrow A spare pair of standard R6 forks
Arrow Spare renthal sprockets, 16 tooth front and 51 tooth rear
Arrow A set of OE R6 rear sets
Arrow Spare rear brake reservoir
Arrow Spare standard left hand clip-on
Arrow Spare standard throttle grip and cam
Arrow Spare set of rear sprocket rubber dampers (cush drive)

Anyway, I'm very pleased. The bike is nice, but I'm going to have to wait until the end of October or November to get it on the track as I'm going on holiday.

A couple of pictures are attached.

Can you ever have too much? Not the way I spend it anyway!

What have you got? Only thing that springs to mind is a standard end can for quiet days (the viper system is very loud!), and maybe a side stand (I don't need to save the 300 grams in weight!).

I do have both of those, also pretty much, well, everything else.

At the mo the best offer is for the bike without the road bits but all the other spares, so you could be in luck Smile.
