    I had/still do a major crush on that bike when it came out...total ovalness!

    not to mention all that carbon, upside down forks,cassette gearbox and projector style headlights.
    all back in the early 90's this bike was well ahead of its time.

    £900 quid for a screen, a new tank would set you back £8.5K, fairings £4K per side :eek:

    Sorry boys its over priced and over complicated (as it was when launched). For that money I could have an RC30 + RC45 + RRN + Desmo + Z1 with insurance and still have change for a few beers.
