My new race/road bike

fontyyy » Tue May 12, 2009 9:38 pm

Namely this one, it's not that tidy anymore!

Not sure this will be much of a "build" thread as it seems pretty good already, it needs virtually nothing. Who says don't buy ex-race bikes, they're the best cared for bikes out there!

I'd realised yesterday morning (much to my alarm) that I'd booked a Brands Hatch track eve with the California Superbike School and forgotten about it
The plan originally was that by now I'd have done a fair amount of racing, be well upto (my) speed and to try and get back into the School way of riding as I just don't pu it into practice once he flag drops.
But as I've actually done 6 laps and then broken my collarbone clearly this was the time to shake the new bike down.

It jumped into life with ease (not run since October apparently) and sounded pretty much spot on running 95ron unleaded.

Spec is (I've been told)
Mild Apex Leisure modded motor (wet clutch)
HRC jet kit (true, I've got the rest of it too)
Tyga pipes
Open airbox (i.e. no lid)
R model forks revalved and resprung by Reactive Suspension (£350 receipt)
Supposedly CBR600 rear shock, monkey thinks not, whatever, it's not stock NSR as it's pretty firm.

So, first impressions, apart from a soggy front brake (fluid?) and no rear brake at all (HRC leaky hose?) it's fine, pulls really well, carburates near perfectly, handles better than I can exploit and as a bike to fit me, it's better than the '18, that Tyga RS-alike fairing is big!

That's it so far, I'll get it daylight MOT'd, may fit the rear light and some front light hidden in the nose vent and I need to get something done sometime about the noise as 've got a couple of quiet TD's booked at Donny this summer.
