Looking Good DeanO

Hopefully the weather will change soon and you can do some miles you can enjoy a little more.
Â£450 not too bad for insurance the first time I looked for a quote for mine it was Â£1100

(and that was from Honda) needless to say I didn't take it
I'm down to about Â£300 now through Benetts. Still more than double I was paying on the Storm

but I guess I'll just have to put up with it

Well done Deano. Nice bike - and nice view.

I'm now down to Â£250 from eBike (5 years NCB) for the SP1 + Yam TZR 250. Although I'm probably a good deal older than you (and most other peole!).

thats good?

its ultra grainy and polarized!

Go and get yourself a copy of photoshop, you can download it for free from http://www.torrentspy.com or if you want to pay for it, get an older version on ebay for Â£20! It will beat the hell out of googles dodgy (what i assume to be java orientated) program.

Oh mate, they look the dogs danglies, in the best honest red as well

Hell of a view from the North East pad

The latest paint colours for the SP-2 have an option of this lovely Anthracite:

that looks really well in anthracite

the view is Robin Hood's Bay from kitchen window (doesn't look so good in reverse)

Dunno if its just me (possibly under the influence of the green eyed monster!) but although I really like the look of the SP1/2 -especially in that black/red/silver livery the lights look really old fashioned

I was drooling at that pic enough that I started trawling MCN and then came across pics from head on and from behind
The head on pic still reminds me of an LDV van headlights and the tail end with the square lights is very 80's
If I was going to get an SP one of the first mods I'd make would be to change the headlights, possibly to something like this

Interested to hear if its just me??

Yup, it's just you. That looks pretty ugly like that, although if you got about a dozen of them wee lights either side of the air intake it would look like a fly. That would be cool.
