I got the bike on August 1st 1990 (actually delivered in a van to my house the day before, so I was ready for the off first thing in the morning). I recon there can't be too many people out there that have owned the same Exup that long. It's just had its 18th birthday (my kid insisted on buying it a cake & candles!) and it's still a fantastic bike to ride. Here's a pic of when I took it to Brands Hatch.

If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer.
Can't believe you didn't put different panels on for the track ....just the thought of dropping it mixed with the price and scarcity of original bodywork in top condition

I get bored too easily and fancy a change.
Kept it really cos I like it so much. Many other bikes have come and gone from my collection over the last 18 years, but this one I'll keep (with one or two others as well).

After 10 years you hit the comfort zone. Anyway its still fast as f***. And goes round corners with the 155s. Oh, with the K&N and Quill straight thru can it HOWLS above 6500.
