And there I was hanging onto some ancient banter to stop me from buying one!
It looks like a lot of fun.
In fairness I heard stories of them starting tank slappers at 120 but it could all be down to worn tyres or a headset battered by constant wheelies. '98 would have been about the time my mates were all crashing blades though.

Those SRADs are brilliant handling bikes. A bit of suspension set up and they’ll still hang with modern stuff. I think everything 98 and up came with a factory steering damper.
Genuine 120+ hp at the wheel, RGV500 geometry and still light too. Proper classic!
