Right, I bought this in March as a dooer upper & put it on the road. It has 6 months MOT, but it is SORN as of the 1st Jan 2013.
I know it's not to everybodys taste, but it could make a stonking track bike at a very reasonable price.
I'm not using it & have only done 1100 miles on it in 6 months as I use the Sprint all of the time. I did think about putting it on track, but have decided I'm better at taking pictures of race bikes than racing them myself.
I do have the original seat & back end bodywork, but the fairing was beyond repair.
Good points:
Extremely reliable standard engine. I left it for over a month once, she started 1st time & ran sweet as a nut.
Stainless downpipes
Renegade race can
Harris Clip Ons
EBC Prolite discs
F4 Sport clocks. It took me ages to wire these up, but they work brilliantly & look better than the standard clocks.
CBR600RR tail end
Bad points:
It looks like carp, really does need a respray
The paint on the frame isnt brilliant
Aprillia front end doesn't suit it. I have been looking at fitting a GSXR1000 race bodywork to it (like I say, i was going to take it on track)
Steelies sell for anything between £650 - £1600. This is the later, more powerful engined one, so think that £700 is a reasonable price.
I am also looking for a decent digital SLR camera, so could be tempted to a swap for WHY?
Here's my picture diary of what went into the rebuild.
