here's me trackbike I collected today

The pictures do not do it justice, it's proper minging in the flesh

It's a FZR400RR fitted with a FZR600R engine (from the foxeye model for those that remember)

Can't say much about it so far. I only rode it for 5 minutes in the rain to make sure it actually went. Obviously it's a massive difference to the Tuono. Thing that really stands out is how small it is, it's tiny

I've got a lot to learn about them. Are there any decent UK forums/websites? I've only found yankee ones

[Mr Speirs]

That's cos Britons know what decent bikes are...;)

Don't think they'd give me a ACU licence, I'm so slow I'd be a liability

I just want some track fun without risking my Tuono

It's a nice bike and has been well looked after. It's tidy but not mint

I know, unfortunately the 750s hold their value loads better - would love one!
Yours looks lovely, we were talking in the pub on the AR about organizing a weekend mallory trip soon , let us know if you fancy it.
