[snipper]

cheers mike ........ sounds to good to be true .. but will see tomorrow .

if its totally standard it will be staying like that ..... future classic ?

[Pete.L]

I'm probably too late to give any advise so....
Well? What was it like?

[snipper]

ah well ....... here she is

[Zakalwe]

You bought it then?? If so, congrats. If not, then give it a good thrapping through the gears. Mine used to jump out of 2nd gear, which I have heard that a few do (worn dogs in the box). Not that common, but it does happen.

Otherwise, they're all good.

Sweet!

Let's see how long it stays standard......

[Pete.L]

Sweet!

Looks real tidy. What's she go like?
Any hidden extra's or is she completely std?

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 isn't another bike that I yearn for. Unless someone wants to give me the cash to buy a Ducati Desmosedici

If you've got the spare cash it's worth fitting a Power Commander, I put one on a few weeks ago and it made a big difference.

A difference but not £460's worth of difference IMO - which is what it cost to buy & have it set up on a dyno :wink2

I have to disagree with you there Dean, i put a downloaded map on mine from the website at no cost and instantly got pretty smooth throttle response and a leap from 90 miles to a tank to 130. I guess it depends how your bike reacts to the map and how good a downloaded map can be

[Pete.L]

I disagree with both of you

Get the handling sorted out first. She's got enough power and when she's handling sweet a bit of roughness around the bottom end is easy to forget.
