Due to a chain adjuster bolt snapping in the swingarm and my local bike shop completely screwing it up I had to buy another exup to break.

Guess what it had on it?

Yes a full titatnium Akrapovic race system on it!

It now graces my bike and looks and sounds the absolute bollocks!

I agree, so to you too! still a nice bike though

I love the original R1 in those colours, seriously thinking about getting one this year to accompany the exup in the garage, funds permitting of course.

Anybody want to buy a kidney?

A very nice bike, apart from the red grips and tyres which look daft!

It reminds me of my old marlboro coloured rd125!

Hi

Ok, I recon we should have our first Exup1000 meet-up at Dave's place. :D

A meet at my place would be cool, be a few sore arses after the ride down though!

I do like my older bikes, you can have 3 or 4 for the price of a 2nd hand newish bike ...

CLEAN!!! damn I'm moving to Spain... those hills look class for some serious mountain biking as well and dry roads for the exup :eek:

Bike no 1 is an '88 VFR750FG, I use this daily, it has 67,000 on the clock and still pulls like a train, I love the V4 in it, its also pretty clean too!

I do spend more time riding it than cleaning it, honest!

11,000 miles in the 2 years I've owned it, and its a 2nd bike!
