IIRC that's a Colin Edwards WSB replica sprayjob - so + points for it being on a Honda but - points for it not being on a Honda SP1 / 2

Yes it is a UK owner.

Agreed the forks do look a bit nasty as they probably haven't had any attention in the bikes 30k miles.

Apparently it was done by dream machine

It's the paint job that he had in 2002 at Leguna Seca

As a Bird owner I am appalled! As Supervox says - save it for an SP1/2!
