Right then......here he is
I picked him up this afternoon and have managed a quick fifty miles before kids and wifey stop play. I faaaaarrrrrkkkiiinnnn luuuuurrrrvvvve it
It feels like I have finally found biking Nirvana. Enough grunt to leave the cages behind, THE best gearbox I have had the pleasure of using (including the brand new Blade) and phaaaarrrrrp snick, phaaarrrrppp snick, you know what I mean! Twins rule.............. I may not get jailed for doing 160mph in a 60 zone now, the fun starts at a lot lower speed God it feels good. You lucky bar stewards that realised early doors that this is the bike to own should have told me sooner (I know I prob ignored you ) you all still need to ride the new Blade though its a peach.......... (proper track tool). Anyhoo here he is.
The side profile gives me engineers wood ......do I change the cans or leave original? I quite like the idea of an unmolestered SP to be honest but i love the sound of some good cans

Immense... I love it.
Once pennies allow I will have one (or a 2 )...
In the words of Wayne Campbell "It will be mine, oh yes...it will be mine..."
Congrats Jim. Looks ace.

Re: Right then......here he is
if there's such a thing as a better looking bike than that one, I've never seen it
leave it standard jim, unless you've got a spare £280 for the PC111 plus dyno time that goes with new cans

I knew it , all this about the Blade not being up to scratch was just a ploy to get back on a V twinBeamish wrote: Twins rule..............
All joking aside a lovely looking bike Jim and it certainly sounds like you're happy as hell with it
Please ignore my last posts to your original reply with pic's of this beast. It looks like you beat me to it
Chris.
PS. I darn't ride one of these now, after all the praising you've given this bike, it could be too risky :wink2

Very nice mate. Especially in black
VTR's are for life, not just for Christmas
Re: Right then......here he is
Absolutely spot, on it looks magic in the black ( the best colour for any bike :wink2 ). I wish I had one, enjoy it.

Re: Right then......here he is
What colours did they do?
I lnow of Red for SP1's, Silver, White and Black for SP2's. Any more?
was this a genuine Honda colour scheme?
