Looks like Ive found an SP1. Completely original, 26000 miles - FSH with 11 Months MOT in the best colours RED and BLACK....

Hopefully delivered by next weekend..... Game On Clarkey / Timbo!!

Well done mate, you wont regret it. Enjoy.

Cool

Pics later!!

nice one matey! your in for a world of fun!!

Here's a pic taken by the current owner. It should be collected for me on Wednesday. Looks brilliant...

Sweet, been looking for a minter myself , how much was it if you dont mind me askin...

Very nice mate,looks in top condition too,bet ya cant wait.i want one now DOH!!

Its costing me 2.7k including delivery at £200... Looking at recent stuff on e-bay, I think its a good deal? Thoughts

Sounds about right-looks like a tidy bike

You'll enjoy it-they are ace

2.7k Id say thats a great price, the only thing Id change is the injection system from the sp2 to the sp1, I have asked a few people some say it can be done some say no, but this is the place to ask so can it be done? I have ridden an sp1 on quite a few occasions and its a real on/off jerky thing at low speeds, quite unnerving actually in the winter. Well done Im jealous, for a frog and a conker more than a top firestorm costs you have a tool mate and I aint talkin rock

I'm going to get a PowerCommander - I'm told that'll sort it out?

I had both an FZ1S and a Daytona 650 which were completely un-rideable at certain revs... My local dealer has one of his mechanics after one as well - so well happy that I've got this. Just pay for it tomorrow and then wait with baited breath for it to arrive

Agree 100% Mike. It's not an issue for me either-the bike rides great

I think a lot of these perceived faults are blown out of proportion (SP fueling, TL damper etc) by the bike press in general.

I am with Mike on this one, the SP can be lumpy if you are in town but as I am sure I have said before it ain't a town bike. No power commander on mine, I just try to not grip the throttle too tightly as every bump moves your body/arm etc and moves the throttle just that wee bit to produce the jerkieness (sp?) A lad at my local bike shop once said to me to let the throttle have a bit of freeplay and thus you lessen the direct engine response to bumps.

cheers

A.M.

ps That is a clean looking bike you have there, enjoy it.

As you say, before shelling out any dosh - I'll try it. It cant be any worse than my Daytona - that was un-rideable from 2 to 4k RPM. Thinking about it, it was pretty un-rideable full-stop....

Its going to be a long week waiting for it to arrive.....
