Very very happy with it. Quite mad maxish with all the chips and rattiness but a sound engine and former owner. Lovely sound Twisted Evil

. Got loads of bits with it as well, R6 brakes and basically everything he had that was bike related for 700 quid!

Fair play, i think that bike is gorgeous, but then i like ratty bikes.

Excellent buy too from the sound of it.

Just put the R6 callipers on. Shocked

. Wow! On the way home I relied on engine breaking and the guy said that was normal but now it feels slick.

Definately keeping the stripes but not sure about the 46.
And no £700 is not normal but then this ones fibre glass fairing and dodgy paint work (brush an pot job I think).

I've seen a yellow one on ebay that is very clean with loads of extras for 1750 though.
