what's the trumpet look's cool had a good day then it was really sunny today and the road's were ace.
Dunno what the trumpet is, but yeh aint bad i spose... Was a great ride, could have done with it being a few degrees warmer but can't have everything!! Just glad of some sunshine!!!
amen to that after all the snow and ****ty weather weve been having a dry mild day is awesome i'll be out and about on the 650 tommorrow hopefully the weather will be as good.

Rich I really do like your bike. The white Gsxr is the best colour in my humble but correct opinion :)

I've never been up and down the gorge and had a clear run at it. Fricken tourists :p

There was some little scrout behind me in a Honda CRX thinking he was cool cus he could keep up with me.. Up until i blasted through the gorge and made his car sound like a 50cc moped,, never seen so many tourists look in one direction with the sound of my exhaust!!! He soon backed off then,, childish i know but i enjoyed it :roll:...

The bottom picture is quality, loving the bike.
One of the best looking bikes imo. If i'd have bought a sportsbike, it would have been exactly that.

Rich - 2 issues that I need to raise..
1.) Powerbronze screen ??? Slightly smoked ??? Looks v.nice. I been contemplating on one myself but wasn't sure whether a dark screen would look a bit pap
2.) Whats that white mudguard thingy-bob you got ??
3.) Yeah, i know i said 2 but i can't be bothered to go back and change it.. how's the new zorst ?? feel much of a difference ?? Have you had the bike re-mapped or tuned in anyway post-installation ??

Yeh its a light smoke Suzuki DB screen, there was a few new ones on ebay for sale but can't see any at the mo!!! About £60 i think, not 100% on that though!!!
2.) Whats that white mudguard thingy-bob you got ??
It's a special order one from powerbronze, if you go to their website you can see the gold and silver mesh ones. You have to phone up for different colour mesh it costs £5 extra for your choice!!

The new exhaust is awesome, a nice low rumble at low revs but if your going through town or past plod put it in 5/6th no need to worry. Then out on the open road open her up and it sounds like a GP bike.. :smt020 I went through the gorge and it was soo loud you could almost feel the vibrations through the gorge walls!!! :cool: ... It feels much smoother, before i had it all set-up theres was abit of a dip in power around 6-7k and then from 8k onwards it would go but now it goes from 4-16rpm smooth as you like. The power is much more accessable even overtakes in 5th arn't as much of a struggle!! I had it all set-up and installed by JHS racing heres my post http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=125808 (http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=125808).. It's not making as much power as some have had but the power it does make is still too much for me and my experiance.. :rolleyes:

Rich-
your bike has made me trickle in me pants..
I looooves it !
I've never been up and down the gorge and had a clear run at it. Fricken tourists :p
they arnt the real problem.Its the stupid sheep and goats that stand in the middle of the road just round the tight hairpin bends.We went down there last summer ans Widepants ended up with wool stuck to his bike.
Nice pics!
what's the trumpet look's cool had a good day then it was really sunny today and the road's were ace.
The Trumpet will be an original Speed tripple I'd imagine.

So sheep and tourists aren't the same thing then. They behave in the same manner...
