| comment | This bike started life being raced in the ‘Superstock’ series in UK, hence all the trick bits. I obtained it in a box, entirely in bits, every nut & bolt, along with a lot of spares, For ￡400. I sold some of the spares for a grand total of ￡395! I built the engine up then the rest of the bike. I was so impressed that I then made it street legal & registered it for its first time on a public road. A few months later (Winter) I stripped it down again to rebuid it to its present state…. Oh yeah, it goes like f**k !!! |
