Good man. Save me some unleaded.

Good for you Richie. More power to the CV for when they finally kick you out. Then again the rates will go down because of a surplus of qualified drivers thanks to the army training all and sundry.

Hey Richie, i had a go on my mates one last week, its an f-reg, he's turned it into a RC30 replica, you can just make out the larger headlights he's grafted in for one. And he sprayed it up himself. Spent 100's of hours getting it this good.
After a 'test' ride feedback on it is mostly good, looks beautiful, absolutely zero power below 6k, then as the revs rise further, its like 'WHAM!' it just flies!!!! I didn't get a chance to try it on the twisties where they belong, but its sooo light and flickable, and definetely has that 'classic' ride feel.
The 'not so good' bit is the diabolical clip-on position/angle of them. 10mins and my wrists are killing!
He's thinking of selling this for £1500. I know it owes him £3500+.

Here's a genuine Vfr750R RC30 '92
