i originally bought it from superbike city in leighton buzzard , they have long since gone - i was told they were doin dodgy deals !

they had no idea what the bike was. i payed £2500 for it and it must have been 10 years ago thinking about it now!!!!
the bike was fairly scruffy cosmetically and missing its fairing lowers.

i got the coerce rearsets from a guy in a ducati wsb team , he got them from singapore.
i had them set up for the gear change 5 up 1 down as i was used to that from racing.
it had ali race pipes that had no manafacturer mark on them and i had them polished to a mirror finish from header to end can , it didnt have jha cans when i sold it.
i got some lower panels new from west coast superbikes and then had the whole bike painted in biaggi's marlboro paintwork from the 250's that year which i think was 97??
anyway my brother did the paint and he's a car painter hence why the honda wing tank sticker was on backwards.
i did manage to slip off it at low speed once as well - somehow the card jumped out enough on a twisty road one night to turn off the lights. i stood it up straight on the brakes and just toppled off into the verge at about 10mph. didnt damage anything other than my pride!

i traded the bike back in at the same shop for a yzf750 that was up for £3000 straight swap. not long after the shop closed
