That is absolutely stunning, they will never age. I'm sure it will turn some heads at the TT.

 

[Brian mc21]

Thank you. Going to keep this one. Not the cleanest of the 3 or 4 I’ve had but a keeper and all original. Looking forward to the TT.

New battery for the MSX so it can sit without a wheel turning for another year or 2

 

[lee-r33]

Started adding the graphics to my nsr this weekend

 

[lee-r33]

Picked up this rear swingarm assembly might fit it to the nsr haven't decided yet tbh might just buy a frame and build a 400

Thanks to a @mikey Recommendation finally got it running again after nearly 2 years of pulling my hair out.

Now to play mot bingo

Nice.Have had a hankering for one of these or a Tuono recently.HTR!!

 

[TalkToFrank]

I decided to go a run to Donegal on mine today, so fueled it (extravagant these days) put new mirrors on and gave it a good wash and dry

Always fancied a Haga rep Mille R. McCallen was Aprilia in Lurgan when I was still in primary school and I always stopped to look at them when I was walking home

Had a message to do today so pulled the blade out for a quick blip after a few months lying up.

Beautiful bike mate

Cheers. I be looking at classifieds all the time thinking about what to change to, but then after a blast, I think, why bother.

 

[domo gti]

The bike looks mint @Lee id love a fireblade at some stage to have alongside the RR!

 

[ilovequo]

Incredible bikes, always amazes me how much money you have to spend on a car to get the same power/speed of a litre sportsbike

 

[andy9eleven]

Flip me @Lee that is lovely looking. Nice garage setup too by the looks of it.

 

[Lee]

Cheers. The 1000cc has a lovely spread of power. Plenty of grunt down low for normal riding, but the second half of the rev range can only be described as frantic. No rider aids on this era of Fireblade either.

I still have urges to buy a second bike, planed on a sports tourer to do longer trips with more comfort but looking at sports bikes makes me want one also. I need a go on something like a 750. I don't think a 600 would be for me anymore after being used to the low down and mid range of my 1000, granted a newer 600 will have the same power, but its still well down on torque.

You could leave those 4 cylinder categories behind and look at twins and triples. Especially if you want a second bike and your existing one is a four. You get a whole different character, good torque and usually a better all-round road bike.

 

[EF Ian]

Any engine is a possibility if the rest of the package would be right. I've had a V twin before and loved it.

 

[TalkToFrank]

I'm tempted by a Street triple - anyone had one?

After one myself atm. Get really good reviews

Took a Triple R out years ago from McAllens for a rip…serious fun! Super smooth and felt like power on tap for what it was. I weight next to nothing and it still felt nimble until I pinned the throttle through 3rd and 4th and was hanging on like a sheet on a washing line the new gsr750 beside (behind) me had no hope. Switched bikes and in keeping up I cooked the abs on the gsr

The R was maybe a bit much unfaired at full chat. Power delivery from those engines is really nice though.
