Good site. If your into British bikes then I can recommend SRM http://www.srmclassicbikes.com 01970 627771 for anything from parts to a full restore. My cousin works there as an engineer and i've known Geoff Dewhurst the Managing Director for about 30yrs. The quality of their work is 2nd to none and...

I've allways used K&N filters, not sure if they're any better than other makes.
One reason I don't put standard air filters on is that K&N might a bit more expensive but they're reusable, give 'em a wash re-oil and chuck them back in, saves money in the long run.

Chain snapped on my SP1 yesterday and it don't look too good :( 3 out of the 4 bolt holes on the engine casing that hold the sprocket cover and clutch slave cylinder on have been smashed off. I doubt it can be repaired but if anyone has any ideas i'd appreciate it. At least I didn't get thrown off t...

And me

If things go to plan over the next few months Im considering one before the end of the year

The power of the dark side is strong, for you SP1 come it will , destiny yours it is.

I don't think you'd regret it m8, go for it.

Good write up, have to agree with you it's not town bike in any shape or form. Get it on the open road and it comes into it's own, which is a pure pleasure to ride, miles of smiles and thats what it's all about. The handling is spot on but it does require a bit more rider input to get the most out o...

Standard seat on my SP1 and I get no probs when I go from Hungerford to Aberystwyth and back, about a 400 mile round trip. Have to be honest tho, my ass isn't on the seat very much when I hit the Welsh roads :D Going back to the orig topic of this post, £4100 for an SP1 in that condition, they're e...

I'll check the battery connections tomorrow, ta for the suggestions.
Timbo, I lost my marbles years ago m8....lol

This has happened a few times, everytime I refuel I reset my trip so I know when to start looking for a garage.
But a few times when i've stopped, come back to the bike, switched on and the trip has reset to zero.
Anyone got any ideas?

I've got the same prob on my SP1, it's a little better since I fitted the Power Commander and loaded the correct map for my zorts but I think it needs a bit of fine tunning.
Due for a major service very soon, as soon as i've got that done then it's onto a rolling road for a bit of tweaking.

I've got enough room for about 12>15 tents in my garden and enough parking space for 400+ bikes (I ain't joking) if that's any use to anyone.
I'm about 15 miles south of Swindon,

i think ive found the bike at last i will keep and not get bored of :D Exactly what i thought when I got my SP1 last July, Every bike i've owned there's has allways something else that i'd want, i.e wanted a blade, got one then wanted an R1 got that then bought the SP1 and I honestly say there's is...

Haven't had a ford for a couple of years, last one was a ST24 V6 Mondeo.
Good solid car but found it a bit tame compaired to the MR2 turbo I had prior to getting the ST24, can't afford a decent car and run the SP1 so now got a very tired, clapped out Vectra.

I haven't done it but I have thought about it.
The farm I work on is closing down sept/oct, i'm not only going to be out of work but also need to find somewhere else to live, I live in a tied house i.e. it comes with the job, no job = no house
