I took one out on demo for a few hours, never having ridden a "feet forward" in my life until then.
The bike was decatted and had three 2" diameter straight through pipes on it. Producing around 160 bhp. The noise from it was the most awesome sound I ever heard. People are craning their necks looking round in their cages to see if one of the three horsemen is coming....

Sitting at 130mph on the highway with HGVs moving out the way for you was kinda fun !!!
With 1 metre wide handlebars and a 3 foot wide gas tank, you feel like a Gorilla piloting an Excocet missile :D

Lotta fun for your bucks.

They do supercharger and turbo kits for them now if your brave/stupid enough.

Kyle Woods !! Hes da man !! [8D]

Past the balance point, but catch it on the rear brake and the bikes momentum pushes it back through the balance point.... awesome balls to do that on summat that large.

As for the R3 I will not be having one, spension is utter garbage.
Seesaws all the time. Running boards down a go go..... I got sea sick after and hour or so :D[:o)]

It would look better covered in a gallon of petrol shortly followed by a match.

If I ever get fit enough to ride a bike again THAT will be the bike I get, no contest.

What's happened to you Spondon, doesn't sound too good if that's what you'll be riding. Unless you live on a farm and the Massey Ferguson has been nicked [8D]

My Spondon is tucked up in my garage awaiting it's next incarnation. With my back the way it is and our roads the way they are it may be sometime before I ride it again. A Rocket 111 is still the cruiser of my dreams, no the bike of my dreams as I own that already LOL.
