My two year restriction is over so brought myself this. I'm really glad I developed my riding skills on a 400 (neglected in background) before jumping onto a 95hp sportsbike. There is such a huge difference in power delivery to my previous bike its mental Very Happy

Not bad for 2k

Very nice for £2k. Seat looks a bit scruffy maybe but that could be re-covered for cheap anyway if you wanted. Enjoy it! Thumbs Up

I had a FY, get a micron race can on it (sounds ace). Get mini indicators as the standard ones are HUGE. I do like the colour scheme of your bike and it will do about 160mph. Wink

PS

How many miles has your bike done? I had to replace the down pipes on mine before 20k miles as i used it to comute over winter.

Lovely bike and seems a bargain for that price, although im not keen on the colour scheme, never been a fan of silver on bikes.

Looks sweet though mate, enjoy her! Cool

Cheers for the comments Thumbs Up

The seats ok, I managed to get some auto glym polish on it, thats the white stain but it will wash off fine. I plan to get black double bubble screen and mini indicators because yeah they are huge.

Its done 25 000, but recently had a big service with the valve clearnce etc... I've also got the warranty for the motad downpipes so they have been changed.

I'm aware of the cam chain rattle (its been sorted), but when the fan kicks in its quite loud, is that normal?
