It's blue. Appears to be very clean and tidy. I trust the sellers (my local bike shop). Nice laser exhaust system Oh WT*F* am I trying to kid? I need a bike for Monday, my choices were of 1. Today I am feeling very emotional about not having a Triple -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 75 TS 156 TS S2 Suzuki Bandit 600 #Triumph Speed Triple: Black with extra black bits (I live in hope) www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk

Catman says... If and when you get sick of the howl from the exhaust[1][2], I have a spare standard one sitting her. Yours for not very much at all. [1] This is assuming yours is one of the better looking pre-K models. [2] I got sick of the Scorpion race can within a few days. At moderate speeds the fucking thing sounded like a Stuka on its bomb run.
I think I may well get sick of the bike first, but thanks all the same. Pre-K? No idea, it's a T reg if that helps. AFAIAC it's a bike form people I trust at a price I could handle and could be ready for close of business today. But by god it's not a Speed Triple -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 75 TS 156 TS S2 Triumph Speed Triple: Black with extra black bits www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk
No, I think it should be quite straightforward.

But if you only read the bike related posts, it shouldn't take more than about 10 minutes a month. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 75 TS 156 TS S2 Triumph Speed Triple: Black with extra black bits www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk
Catman says... They do what they're built to do quite well. I like mine and some days ride it in preference to the Triumph. Like you said though, they're nowhere near as nice as the triple. Pre-K model then. This exhaust will fit.
I should really reserve judgement until I've ridden more than 2 miles. Out of interest, what's the tank range? Cheers. The fitted one appears to be a full stainless Laser. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 75 TS 156 TS S2 Triumph Speed Triple: Black with extra black bits www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk
Catman says... I've never managed to get any more than 110 miles to a tank from mine, but I'm not kind to it and it is a touch knackered at 70ishK miles. I suppose you should be able to better that if you're not cruising at 100mph everywhere. Standard downpipes are stainless with a mild steel section coming out of the collector box. That's where they rust, but they can be welded for around 40 quid. I had mine done by Derren at Gibson Exhausts in Romford.

**** I hope so. I really don't want to be filling it twice a day Looks stainless all the way through, but I'll have a better look, maybe. Anything else I should know?
