Went into charles hursts to throw my leg over an mt10 and see how the ergonomics where....

Walked out after putting a deposit down in this.

More photos to come once it gets delivered.

That shop scares me because I do silly things with bank details (and I cannot wait to do it!)


Please tell me the S P Ness reference is from 44teeth

It wasn’t from 44T no but I do remember I heard them say it now you mention it lol. Barron and al do the best bike reviews....BY FAR!!

 

[Chris666]

They certainly call a spade a spade, the kind of journalism and reviews I like.

I'm biding my time before pulling pin on an MT07, job pending guarantee pending

Was that the demo SP? Id been putting off going to see it, simply because there was a chance I might of bought it lol... Ive absolutely no need to change my 2016 MT lol

Health to enjoy it! You will love it! There's just something so fun and raw about that engine!

 

[Chris666]

The totally different internals and tune that make it not a true R1 lump is probably the highlight.

Yet to ride one but haven't seen a bad review for any of them so far

Unreal! Also went to see that same bike and then test rode one at the bike show last week. They really are weapons!

Health to ride/wheelie

yes buddy its the ex demo. price on it is less than what a stock mt10 would cost in 2018 so i jumped on it!

can't wait to get it home and have it sat in my garage for a few months till it warms up.......

what a time of year to buy a bike ffs lol

 

[soccersmyth]

Have a nice set of titanium R1 headers here would look well on that lady

Well done you won’t regret it, completely mental yoke. I’ve had a ball on mine this year

few changes from the last post.

Fitted yamaha heated grips.
Heard mixed reviews on them but they were the only grips i could find with the controls integral in the grip.
I hate the look of the external type control box such as oxford and R&G.

Next i got the leovince decat. WHAT A SOUND!!!!!

only had it fitted for around 200 mile though as i decided on a different can that uses a bespoke link pipe.

fitted a puig screen a month or so back and last week i fitted an R1 shift lever so i could convert it to reverse shift.

The R1 lever is longer than the mt one by about an inch so. i decided to cut it then drill n tap the peg bit then just rin an m8 into it. its secure enough for now until i get my hands in a tig welder and tidy it up.

This setup allows you to keep the shift linkage in the pull setup allowing you to keep the oem QS sensor.

Finally is the new helmet to match the blue accents of the SP.

Going from a schuberth to this i was expecting alot of wind noise and a leser build quality but i was soooo wrong. HJC nailed it with this helmet!!

New exhaust photos to follow when it arrives. may even treat you all to a sound clip!!

 

[Mabb]

Would you take £100 for the Leo Vinci link pipe?

leo link pipe is sold n gone buddy.

No probs, what exhaust are you going for now?

Mine is still standard, I’m happy enough with the power as standard but I’d like her sounding a bit more fruity..and if I gain a few more horseys that would be welcome
