Well I got it "sorry Norbo mate" Always wanted one as I love the look of um so it's now tucked away at mothers waiting for me to get my hands all over her Fairing will need some attention if I keep it on but other than that it should be fine for what I can see so far ;D

I've heard they go well! The engines are actually RGV ones so they shouldn't be too expensive to repair if needed You can pick up a fair amount of secondhand parts if you look in the right place so that shouldn't be too bad either? I would have thought if you had an accident on one and had to replace forks/wheels etc then that would be expensive Brembo brakes look very nice as do the disc's, forks and shock, surprised to find out that the petrol tanks are made of plastic but at least you don't have to worry about rust Cant wait to start stripping it
