Default The red beast lives!!!!!

here it is. the beast that raf will be riding when he gets here. it is a beast! my god its heavy, but it goes.... very well.

its the brother of Bear's whale shark, but its name is the red beast for obvious reasons.

i hope you like it raf, there is no way you are riding my bike the whole time you are here, so this is your toy to play with. but we can swap occasionally, maybe, if you ask me nice enough, and my ar5e is sore enough from the hard daytona seat, and i'm feeling generous, and you have bought me lunch, hhmm, and whatever other provisos i think of at the time that will enable me to part from my 675....

BTW - interesting looking exhaust arrangement on the Ninja - does that 2nd can run laterally across the back actually add anything to performance ?

Won't be a problem Sarah, he's currently getting used to the awesome power of a 1996 CB750F2, so that should be a bit of a demon by comparison

Cheers Mark.

You forgot the magical mystery controls, they've got a mind of their own! The bike carries its weight quite well until you have to stop.

Yes I am.

Also, I just noticed something very sad, it matches my leathers.

ZX9R B model with a BT020 front and MEZ4 rear?

It's far too awful for Raf to ride. Tell you what, give me his ticket and I'll suffer it all on his behalf

Lucky sod.....
