The duke was quite cheap. Did a service + belts at the weekend. Got some high level Remus cans coming from eBay. Not sure if I like them, but if I don't I'll sell them and buy some standard level carbon ones.

And no, I'm skint. Just try not drinking any alcohol or buying any food etc when you're at work. You'd be amazed how much you can save quite quickly, I don't earn that much.

Insurance was a bit more than the Gsxr, however. Damn being young and stupid, eh?

I take my own food to work and have done for about a year now so i don't feel the savings!

How much did you get the cans for? brand new or used? I'll be wanting some for the hornet (when I get it). Preferably used and scorpion. I'll be buying a link pipe so as long as the cans are the same and the stickers are the correct way or I can buy new ones It'll be awesome!

There don't seem to be any bargains on ebay at all Sad

The goose is definitely the one that does it for me out of the two. Pretty sweet looking wheels in the background too.

I like the goose, and I've always loved those SS Ducatis.

Prefer them with the half fairing though:

Get that bottom section removed! Cool

What do you search for? I've been searching for "pair cans", comes up with a fair amount but no real bargains...

I'm thinking of like £100 for both zausts kinda bargain.

Undecided on the cans. Going to keep an eye out for normal level carbon ones. Still looks okay.

Jap import 350 aircooled single. Shares engine with DR350 Trailbike except has a sixth gear, high compression piston and different camshaft. They eat top ends if you don't keep on top of checking oil etc.

Sublime handling. Mine has an RGV rear shock. Good on fuel. Physically small. Top out at just over a ton. Bloody loud with a full system.

Anything else you want to know?
