For those that know me, I've broken my personal best when it comes to getting stuff on the bike, check out these piccies! ;-)

Yes, I did drive with all that kit, 25 of them to be precise and I got up to 70mph and peeps, no, I didn't drop the bike, it was the first time I got both feet flat on the ground ;-)

Sarj, that is impressive. I'll see if i can find the piccies of my mates XJR 2 up with probably half as much again on board! Scary stuff. However, it was fun filtering behind him on the way to Wales

Very impressive!

I managed about the same (maybe a little more! :shock: ) on my K3 (crap luggage fixings/smaller rear end, etc!) when I've been to bike races in the UK!
I had no choice but to take loads, as I needed to take my orange overalls, multiple changes of clothes, steel toe-capped boots, tent, cooking apparatus...........

The handling is a little more, erm... Interesting when loaded up though, isn't it!!?

I can beat that...
I did the same, but I had a rack for all the stuff on the seat, all the lugauge full extended and had the wife on the back. Bike still did 120mph, and I managed to travel 1700 miles to the bottom of France and back, all though the twisty mountain roads :D

That's ok then. Let's face it, you can't make a CBR look any uglier than it already does anyway :D :D :D

eh... try the colour scheme to which I will post the pics when I get it... ITS BAD!! really really bad.... post the pics on the thread in idle banter when I get them... :shock: :roll:

no lower fairing panels... gaffer tape and cracked front fairing... what was a nice looking bike (i like the cbrs) is now how you see them :lol:

no... its way way worse... the colour scheme is beyond atrocious...its worse than the all copper svs.. :wink: :shock: :lol:

blue body (similar blue to my sv)... lime green seat... and very red wing mirrors which are covered with red rubber.... pale blue wheel rims too... :shock:

sorry... think its gonna be sprayed by then even if I have to do it myself.... :lol:

but... its tempting to bring it down as it is just because it will have you guys absolutely killing yourselves at how bad it is... hmmm will see how my mates pics come out... :lol:

I mean mechanically its sound it only needs new front brake discs but... whoever the hell thought of that colour scheme needs shooting... :shock:
