How do you use photobucket Nuggitt? I've noticed the one I've been using is a bit crap. Cheers

Found a couple from when I 1st bought it. Not bad for 650 quid, especially as I went up to Hartepool with a grand in my pocket to pay the asking price, but the poor lad's wife said 'make us an offer, it needs to be gone today'
Cheers love, tax and insurance sorted, and still some left. Poor lad was gutted

That's a bloody bargain! Nice looking bike

Yes mate, I couldn't believe it when I said 650, and his missus held out her hand! I still want a full paint job on it, but between me and my dad, a lot of polishing and a bit of paint, it's worked wonders.

You've got me all wrong mate. I must admit though, I bottomed it out on the A1 at 2am on my way home from work once, and I couldn't believe how well it pulled for at 24 year old bike. Never again though.....

I've only opened her once and she wasn't flat out. Better not say what she was doing just in case the fuzz read this. All I can say is it was scarey.

I was flat out, so whatever the factory publish that it does. Let's just say I couldn't see, it was all a blur. record time from leaving work, to being in my pit mind!

I reckon it was near on 170 stig

Post by **Stig** » Thu Jan 28, 2016 8:02 pm

170 should be achievable on std gearing. I've lowered mine to 16/47 since the top speed run. There's nowhere safe to use that sort of speed around here anymore IMHO

Like I say mate, it was 2am on the A1 at Wetherby, nothing on the road, but I wouldn't do it again, I know what it can do now!
