Yep. Good to have you Zero. I'm not one for "graphicky" bikes, but that one looks a treat! Nice one! 8)

thanks for the welcome all , yes it's a bit ' graphicy ' and as ive' said on another forum, it could be sky-blue pink with yellah dots , love is blind, what can I say?[ i think i might have shallow hal syndrome or something ], it certainly turns heads, wont have much trouble finding it in a crowded bike park, insurance was a wee bit stingy £307 tpft hondas' own [my zed was £269 comp ] There was also a blue 02 VTR at the showroom and it looked like a wet dog in comparison to the REP , and £200 more so--- no contest there! I read loads of horror stories about a horrendous front end [soft forks .. diving under hard breaking etc.. and that you guys use heavier fork oil and progressive springs. or just change the forks ....Now do i ride for a while till I can say ..Ahhhh thats what they mean... OR do i fit new springs and have the front end revamped first? Hmmmm food for thought...
anyways thanks again for the welcome ... 8)


No yellah its not an import the flag i think is aussie not sure.. gonna cover it with a Saltire [no disrespek to any blokes or shielas herebouts]
no clue about the mirrors though

Nice pick up Zero. You should keep the flag, it would add thousands of pounds to its value :lol: surely? 8O

That is one gorgeous bike zero. Have seen some half-arsed efforts on VTRs to put them in race paint but that one looks the biz. Maybe you could replace the Oz flag with some stumps on fire :wink:

Might make it more even :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Post by Zer0Zer0 »

burning stumps? make it more even? did you spill ma pint? wha?? kind of richocheted off my forehead that one...
thanks for all the kind comments , im' still not sure about the belly pan tho?
looks a bit like a dogs willy all pointy at the end, 8O , i might go for red fairing lowers and a white hugger? the race rep thing can be a bit cheesy, but i reckon this storm carries it better than most, at least for a machine that dosent race in these colours if at all, at least i dont think so? i think it pulls out the lines of the bike nicely, bet it'll scare the crap out of 600 riders, and hot hatch boys, :twisted: and when i get cans for it ......OH MY! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Cricket!!! The Ashes!!! Hence the burning stumps issue - we beat Australia in the last test, now 1-1 hence even!! I guess it does sound rather tenuous! :wink:

If you decide to get rid of the belly pan and go for lowers instead then chuck it on ebay, they go like hot cakes. Mind you i would try it in the sales and wants here first as it will probably go to just as good a home :idea:

I recently bought a powerbronze lower-cum-belly pan thingy and it looks awesome. It goes as far as covering the gap and looks like Honda intended it to be there.

There are some great exhausts for sale in the wanted section as well. The Remus Grand Prix are brilliant if you want something nearly legal and cool to look at but to unleash the full soundtrack then get some race jobbers. There are a lot of threads about this very subject.

Good luck mate :wink:
