Always makes me smile, because people will try to convince you that the heap of bits was a complete and running motorcycle. But what they can't explain is why they took it apart.....
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Ah, well haven't been able to ride it in the dry yet, bloody rains every time I have a spare minute in daylight. ANd the phone has required a factory reset, which means that it's saving pictures somewhere but I can't find where....

Anyway, I'm not sure I like the colour scheme yet, I'm still getting used to it.
Goes OK, but it's a bit brash, not like my nice gentle yellow storm, easy on the eye, that was.

And the fuelling's a pain, got to have a bit of a play with that, once I've got the hang of my phone, that is.....
Overall I prefer a well-sorted Storm, but I haven't got one any more.
:think:
Basically, it's brain-out faster, but a fair bit less friendly just rolling around. I'll have to try harder....
Apart from that, It's ok :shifty:

i did try my mates SP1 and that was a nightmare, horrendous fuelling, the thing was crap apart from a fast road. His SP2 is far better. 10 years ago i had it for a week etc, i rode it last year for 15 mins and bloody hated it, i felt like i was having punishment. I do love them, parked up idling :lol:

he has ridden my CB and says its like a fast handling sewing machine!

The guy has postage of 45 quid on but I spoke to him and he is happy for people to arrange their own courier.

Im paying for forks and a 6spoke wheel in the next month so I cannot afford them otherwise I would not have posted here!! Haha
If you don't try you never know if you can do it.

Definitely a bargain. Even with the excessive postage charge.
Oval Fuel double outlet style cans are worth that on their own....

I agree, sort out your own courier will be about £10, as long as the seller wraps them up properly, then sell the carbs for £50 and you've got a decent set of cans for no money at all, good spot that man.... :thumbup:
