Well it is the right colour for a Routemaster :)

Very nice although those cans need to be shortened forthwith :)

Great news that your Mrs has got the Sv too.

It might have a bit of white viper styleee stripe added to it just as a bit of a contrast. The cans are going as they are road legal with fixed baffles and i cant hear the engine anything over 50mph. I'm looking a pair of Quill cans at the moment with removable baffles, she should roar then :D

Sweet.

Loved mine. (Black R reg)

Slo-mo POWA WHEELIES!

Setting off rows of car alarms!

Major boom, boom out of corners!

Seeing the "sheep" on their 600's disappear!

165mph!

Likes a drink, jus' like me!

After 3years and 36k, it (not be my poor bike skills, no no at all;))highsided me off into a barbed wire fence and bounced back onto the kerb with me beneath it. Does not matter if folk tell you its soft. Big bikes bite hard!:grin:

Go easy (its a lazy twin after all.) Enjoy.:cool:

I hear you on that one, apparently it will get 100 to the tank but i'm lucky if i get 80 miles, oh well. Its not so much the consumption as the puny tank size.

what size tank is it about 12 ltrs?, bloody small if that's the case, guess you won't be going touring, lol.
