new whip

Post by fabiostar »

well heres whats taken the place of the old yellow girl.. something lighter and handier to wizz about on.. as iv raced supermotos for 13 odd years in the past it seemed like a good place to look.

big soft old things but a well known engine from the dommie is used..

seems well looked after wee yoke. its had whats needed to wake it up a bit, full Arrow twin pipe system, K&N and dyno jet kit.. it was running filthy rich so a few days spent changing jets and shes running the very best.

Woo hoo! I had the same idea. Got rid of the KTM 640. I don't intend doing any more trails, it's too painful. Plus I want something I can thrash. Wring it's neck, that sort of thing, maybe on a track. The Storm is fast but deficient in clearance. The Tuono would scare me witless on a track, no way Jose.

So... Ta da!

I've only put 100 miles on it so far but what a hoot. Fast as fcuk around the lanes, runs out of puff at 80. Perfic. Cheap as chips maybe, and built in India but it's well made. Cheap suspension but the brakes are made by a Brembo owned company and work really well. Go faster chips from India for less than £150. What's not to like?

Nice bikes chaps but Rob you really need to get with the groove Man... where's the bins ?

You know the rules & yet you still blatently flaunt them & no the fiat doesn't count as a bin although some might argue the point...

New pic please with bins in situ... :lol:

Your missing the point , it's not suposed to be hidden, it needs to be a prominent feature...You need to be able to make Wicky froth at the mouth with rage or else it doesn't count... Kermit got it right...Must try harder... D- Go back & do it again...
