Picked up my new toy
flak monkey - 18/2/11 at 04:55 PM

Picked my new bike up this afternoon and went for a short ride. Got back and thought I would take some pics.

Its got a few extras, fairing lowers, Pazzo levers, Micron cans, seat cowl (not fitted in pics) and a few other minor bits.











Decided when I saw it in the bike shop the Iridium screen had to go so I swapped it over for a black one



Will be giving it a service in the next week or so and fitting some braided brake hoses up front as I'll be changing the fluid anyway

Honda should reserve some of those cool names for their cars

Nice bike too

Nice bikes David... the VTR was another one that I fancied 'back-in-the-day'!

not been far on it yet. did about 25miles this afternoon but it was freezing!

Totally different to ride to the SV. much smoother engine, even if it's a bigger twin! loads of grunt. the tearing is different too which will take some getting used to

Nice looking beastie

I borrowed my mates SP2 once, and the torque is unreal , certainly a different animal to my VFR750. Hope you have many happy miles on it

Stick my SP1 engine in it David and get yourself an extra 40bhp... go on you know it makes sense!

I keep looking at the 7 and I keep looking at these bike posts Its coming to the time of every year where I want another bike.

Nice bike .........

lovely bikes - some cans make them a bit noisy in my opinion.

Nice riding position, and lovely bike.

Its on my list if I can't stretch to the triumph speed triple.
