They have got baffles but I don't think they do that much, Akro's were off a RSV, used my Remus link pipes with a bit of modding, Well chuffed.

Lovely looking bike :thumbup:

If it fails the MOT, I'll give you £50 for it, to keep it on the forum ;)

Thanks for the offer!!! Keep looking at newer stuff because it is quite hard work against the new stuff, but every time I open the garage door it still puts a smile on my face.

Aint that what its all about though

I have no interest in the latest s1000r/r1/zx10r, characterless machines, yep, they are awesome in many ways but equally soulless

A well ridden sp will hold its own in the twisties, who cares about straight line speed

I totally agree, these modern bikes are just ugly in my view. Maybe the Italian bikes are a slight exception, I never read write ups on new bikes in mcn and mags it just bores me, maybe its because I know i cant afford a knew one or that im just getting older. When my bike is parked next to a row of modern bikes its mine that get people standing around and admiring and its nothing special in SP1 terms, Yes the modern bikes maybe a lot faster but I'm not remotely interested in that these days.
Are those aftermarket indicators? I've been looking for some decent sized ones for a while can I ask where you got them from?

Just changed the lenses, got some off a cbr1000rr7, agree with what you say about attention, against blades & KTM superdukes it's mine that gets all the looks & envy.
