Tomorrow will be going over it to make sure all is well but the little ride around the car park I had before I put it in the van showed no obvious signs of anything wrong or loose though but a good check over will be done as a double check. More pics to follow @Six30 is going to jump at this shit! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busabeast Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 Well today after my family duties are done I'll crack on with checking over the mille for anything untoward though with the paperwork I have with the bike it would suggest that it's wanted for nothing its a 1 owner from new motorcycle with a mostly dealer service history and was converted into a trackbike earlier last year. It seems abit of a faf to select neutral but not sure if that's an issue with the bike or how it's meant to be though I'm sure someone in the know could let me know. I have just ordered a dB killer as currently it sounds like it could easily wake the dead so highly doubtful it would meet the noise regulations for most if not all track days though it looks to have spent a good few days on the track recently so I may be wrong with its loudness but I figured for the sake of 25 quid it is better to have it and not need it that need it and not have it in the tool cabinet 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother's friends with someone that won a portuguese championship dedicated to amateurs an open class bikes with something very similar to that. He's also a big and tall guy, says a big twin like that suits him a lot more than a 4 cylinder bike.

Very nice, I believe mine would originally have come with twin exhausts but it's been converted into a single. This is my very first vtwin so hopefully it suits my style of riding too compared to the inline 4s but time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not determined to injure myself I just need something to do with my spare time now that rugby is out of the window and I have thoroughly enjoyed the 4 trackdays I've been on so far so what better way to fill my time than scare myself stupid every once in a while.
