Saturday night I slipped off my bike on a roundabout near home, the bike would've been fine had it not slid front on into the curb and bent the frame & cracked the engine on the rear mount :'(. I was devastated.
Yesterday found this little gem, 9998 miles when I picked it up, CF side panels (£95 a side), Hagon shock, Preload adjusters fitted in the forks, with spring upgrade, venom race can, rearsets, belly pan, HEL hoses. I'm quite impressed. The paint on the engine needs a touch up but that's no hardship, I just feel I got this for the wrong reasons.
anyways, some pictures. ____________________ '04 Yamaha WR450F

Paris told me about this Mike. You nutter. Were any parts salvageable from the yellow one?
You realise our bikes are no longer a rainbow. Now you and Paris simply merge into one sad blue blob.  ____________________ Current bike: ZX6R J1

I didn't do anything wrong! haha. I'd had my knee on the floor earlier in the day (just to see if I could, cause I had some leathers, its not a habit), then just pootling home round a roundabout the front goes and it slams into a curb! If you looked at the bike from the left you would'nt know anything was wrong with it, and from the right all it looks like is a scuffed rear panel, mirror, and fucked rad, but its actually a slightly bent frame and a small crack in the rear mount. which ruins everything :'(.
Its okay though man, me and paris are the same colour, but me and you are quicker .

Its like a sleeve that simply slides over the back of the seat, don't get one! I got to work this morning and realised it wasn't there any more! wind took it, I was gonna get rid anyway so I'm not fussed.

I was on about not liking the belly pans , I've always loved Hornets!
Get a sports as well as the Hornet, but you fail if you buy a CBR of any 600 sort

Shotgun the tank and all the bodywork, pleeeeease.
I'll also have the downpipes.
Plus you're local. No reason why I can't come round and help you dismantle it if you want.  |

I don't recall saying my bikes up for salee?! The front end my dads having so stuffs forward is off, I'm gonna keep the bodywork in case of emergency or in case I want some custom shit. Probs gonna keep the downpipes too, I'm being stingy , as ill sell it and end up needing something, roles would be reversed .
A 17 inch wheel I do have! I even have the spacers for the discs too, and seeing as I'm personally a 16" fan, I don't think I'll want it . Got a spare 16" too, complete with tyre, and a continental road attack should anyone be interested.
I'm sorry guys, but I'd rather keep hold of certain stuff, I'm sure you all understand my reasons!

Ta beautiful.
There is a chance, my dad having the same headlight on his revere, albeit battered, if he doesn't mind having his one on the Hornet front, I can make one available to you

I want the tank more than the headlight, mines got big old stone chips in it, right on the top.  |
