MOT'd today and being delivered to my door tomorrow lunchtime. K1 600, dirt cheap because it was Cat D repaired in 2005. Mileage 42k which also helped keep the price down. I'll run it for a bit to get used to it, then it'll be track prepped to satisfy my growing itch, I've not been on track for 8 years.

That is very nice and would make a great track bike enjoy

I used to do a lot of track days on my bandit

Nice Gixer and a very nice ramp 

[Asmith61]

Thank you I have had a ramp for over 30 years so bloody handy especially as I suffer with my back   
The hydraulic ram went on my original one, and I was lucky to get this one almost brand new from a motorcycle workshop that went out of business.

Ooh! You hijacker   

Well, she was delivered at lunchtime. A couple of minor niggles but nothing major. Found out why the end can is loose (advisory), it's a slip on shoved into the 4 bolt flange After a bit of searching, I managed to snag this NOS GPR for about 1/3 the RRP - it matches the ones I bought for the VFR too 




She's currently in her temporary accommodation next to Lilith

I've never had a white exhaust - yet. I've had a couple of GPR's over the years and if it's the type with the two piece baffle I always leave the cone one out altogether or massively reduce it. If you trackdaying it then I doubt it will come out of the bag.

 Nice find

Bargain pair of wheels arrived this afternoon, £150 delivered! Front rims are like rocking horse poo.

Nearly new Galfer rear disc and EBC front discs plus plenty of life left in the Supercorsa. The rear has seen a bit of a heat cycle, not seen a tyre like that for a while

[NorthumBryan]

You can tell that rear's been on a trackday bike, brand new tread in the middle, snotted to hell at the edges. Nice 

[MadisonMotorsportUK]

I've put much more brutally used tyres through MOT

[Asmith61]

  They were a real bargain
Love a track day tyre
