that's yam 50th anniversary colours? they do another in Kenny roberts Yep Yam,s 50th , personally didn't like the KR Rep one.. At £1500 for the same paintwork thinking it might be a little too much for something destined too spend most of its time out on track , perish the thought if n when I bin it... :o Now me TZ/ed YPVS Mootah is firmly bolted back in even the wording is Perfect.. ;)

She looks fantastic, it’s actually a shame to put the fairing on, hiding all that lovely engineering :-)

Bloody knees,nightmare. My right one damaged 21years ago - motocross injury(acl rupture & meniscus tore down the middle) Unsuccessful acl repair(they weren’t very good at reconstructions then) and complete removal of meniscus. Medial compartment of knee now arthritic. Need knee replacement,but still to young. Next operation for me is called a high tibial Osteotomy. They literally saw my lower leg virtually in half and take a wedge of bone out to realign my knee so weight is on good side of knee. Only buying me time(5 to 8 yrs) until they will give me a replacement knee😏

I empathise mate. Did both my knees and back in a total ding dong battle between me (RS100) and a Triumph Acclaim. He won. Recently the doc has told me to make a choice...continue walking or ride, but not both. Think I know what I'll do with that advice...
