So far the only thing sure is that the engine is an abnormal vivace , this one is also pushed, so a train ticket only one way to Blackpool is definitely worthy, at least for having a go on this girl.
Then, if the handling is good, I think I will be on my way on the M6 > M40, probably Tuesday.
My main worry is the front when entering the cornering... I read a lots of things not so good, and it needs to be a zig zag business, if it wants belong to me. Speaking with the seller he told me that that's the reason why the front shock has been changed with a Yamaha R1 one. Will see.
The reason why I'm not looking at a R6 or a CBR is too long now to be explained here, and I don't think many are interested anyway.
Regarding the two strokes of this kind and their problems, I can only say that the older I get the stronger is the urge of going back in to the cradle...
And yes, I don't want to grow up.
My buddy had one of those - it was epic. Up to 50 or so it was as fast as the same vintage Fireblade. Bits fell off every time he rode it until finally the throttle jammed wide open and it looped itself into a skip directly outside Harrods. Apropos.
A marvellous idea but the execution was sketchy as fuck. No faster point to point, city tool when it worked though.
