One for Hog

Come on, you said you wanted one...

I know this bike and the owner (Shaun), and it is a corker.

 

It seems to have Cane's name written all over it

"I'm not interested in part exchanges unless Her name begins with H
and is gorgeous Free case of Stella, or champagne, chardonnay, or
some nice fruity red to the buyer"

 

If I have another it would be the 998S but I have a hankering for
another GSXR1000, K3 or 4 model. The Duke would have to come after the
XS650, B12 and RD400 are disposed of.

 

It's the same engine; a 996R has the 998cc testastretta engine
in it that went into the 998 bikes. The 996R has more power,
Ti/Mag engine parts, mag wheels, Ohlins suspension and carbon
panels over the 998S.

996, 996S = 996cc
996R = 998cc testastretta

998, 998S = 998cc testastretta
998R = 999cc testastretta deep-sump

;-)

 

Focuses on XS650...

 

It's the US Custom style remember

 

Am I missing something? I think you're saying an XS650 of the 'US
Custom' variety was doing 'power wheelies'.

If that's the case, blimey.

 

Stuff can be changed...

<tries to remember where the 18" apehangers are>

 

<looks at MX bars on SR250>

So they can.

I threw the SR ones in the bin

 

I have a nice set of Renthals in the shed...

 

And there was me hoping it'd be a photo of a large-breasted female.

 

I think he's talking out of his arse, I had one for a while (much
cheapness) and it didn't power wheely but it did go round corners as
well as could be expected. The rubber mounted handlebars were a bit
disconcerting at first but after a couple of rides you just became
used to them.

 

heh, buy mine...oh, as you were.

 

Not at that price. Nige will be Nigeing it out soon enough though.

P.

 

HA! well i hope he paid more than I offered in France.

TBF sellers on Fleabay of K3/4 models are starting to look a little
desperate. I offered 3.9 this week for a 2005 K4 with 1600 miles but
the seller has decided to continue to let it rot and depreciate in his
garage ;o)

If the weather doesn't pick up I will leave it until next season.

Bit like K1100RT's on the rubber bar front.
