How Easy Would It Be To Fit A RS250 Fairing Kit?

The Bike I Would Looooove Is The New Cagiva 500, Single Cylinder, 4 Stroke Coming Out, I don't Know If You Guys And Girls Have seen It In The MCN £4000.00 Just Wish They Would Hurry And Get It In The Uk My Only Problem Will Be I Am Planning on Doing France Trips With My Dad (Riding A K1200R) And i Dont Know How A Single Cylinder Would Cope With It.

Also I looked Into A RVF/VFR 400 But Being V4 Engines What is Serviceing Prices Like??

So i Think I Am decided With The SV650s

Servicing on a V4? More expensive than an SV, but not horribly so, it's just time consuming to do simple work- takes much longer to get to the sparkplugs, for instance I think the intervals are still 4000 miles, and they're pretty reliable unless tuned. In 33bhp state they'll go on forever really.

As for the RS250 fairing, I suspect it'll be a godawful ******* of a job but probably still quicker than making race fairings look good. The fit's reasonably close, but finetuning the position would take time. You could probably do a quick and dirty fit in a few hours using ally strip for mounting brackets, but for a really good job... Who knows. Buy me an RS250 fairing and I'll find out

The NC30 & NC35 (vfr400, rvf400) are lovely little bikes, with only cost rather than performance to seperate them apparently. You might want to have a look at ZXR400's if that sort of thing is your deal. A lot were apparently raced so beware of that but they're tough and being an IL4 the servicing is less fiddly than the compact V4's.

They are also a little more "focused" than the SV, whether this is good or bad depends on your take...

Just a thought.....
