SP2- current project, one or two minor mods

CB600 naked, 2004, 73k miles but engine runs like new.
Winter hack but soon to be sold to fund rebuild for:

SL125 Honda 1973, 7K miles, in need of cosmetic rebuild.
Technically it's the wife's as I spent her engagement ring money on it 27 years ago and she said ok, but in that case the log book goes in her name.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Three at present:
1997 VTR1000F with about 78000km, not used much over winter.
1990 ST1100 coming up on 110000km, my current preferred steed for its long legs and relaxed demeanour. Not a bad handler with a little suspension fettling.
1999 VFR800 99000km, owned this one for three years, probably the best handler of the bunch.

Local registration costs are very high for bikes (approx GBP280 per year per bike) so I only have two registered at any one time.

I think I probably "need" a 2-stroke, maybe an NS or NSR250?

A 1998 Storm with 14000 miles, all original except for a rear hugger
A 1999 VFR800 with 31,000 miles which I use for the 40 mile round trip to work
And a 1992 Gas Gas 280 pro for playing on in the winter and for occasionally rounding up sheep!

I just picked this one up.

Image

He is a big lad and a tad top heavy. He gets pretty warm around the big power plant. He is not so much fun to ride as the Superhawk but he is a bit more tame. I now have three bikes, a V-four, a V-twin and an inline four, all Hondas.

The bike work is now going on hold. I broke my tractor PTO and I will have to be splitting it in half in the coming weeks.

Only problem is my OCD: has to be Honda, has to be black.
If you cleaned them more you wouldn't need black :lol:
