996R and RSVR better than the SP1?

Post by seb421 »

Just watched one of my Old Videos from 2001, Fast bikes Show 3 DVD with shakey byrne and Co

they had a head to head in the south of france and the SP1 got left behind and wasnt able to keep pace with the Duke or evan the Apprila, they say it has a foldy front end and that it feels worse as the turns got faster.

any one else seen this dvd?

BURN THE HERETIC
:D :D

If it's anythiong like the one on Youtube with a Firestorm, a (I think) 996 and a Bimota, then it'll be carnage. Some seriously fast riding. The Storm gets killed, the Duke gets lowsided (almost chucking the rider over a cliff) and the Bimota ploughs into the prostrate Duke.

Ridden an RSVR and obviously an SP2 and I voted with my wallet :biggrin
Isnt the 996R the special with all the supension trick addons? Biggest add-on I believe is an RAC truck.
I dont listen to the shite anymore. I ride em then decide (by the way I have booked a go on the RSV4 non factory for when the SP goes in for service :twisted: Should be fun :biggrin

I won't ever download that, no Sir, nada, niet, no siree.

Luckily my NAS box has a Bittorrent client so i can load up the tracker and let it do it's thing in the background. That is, if i was to download it.Which I'm not. :No No:

I may or may not have obtained a copy, which maybe didn't come off a torrent file. If anyone doesn't want a copy, then please don't let me know, so I cannot offer to host it. Otherwise you might download an illegal file. And that would be a bad thing.

Link where you cannot download it to follow. :?
