    Don't get me wrong, think Marquez is an amazing talent......but after in my opinion interfering in the title last year I didn't want his number on my bike anymore. The bike has a full race scheme from Racepaint in Nottingham and wanted to leave the #93 on the bike for if any future owner (assuming I'll sell it at some point) wants to return it to a Marquez rep. A very good friend of mine helped me out with some one off stickers to cover the #93 up and enhance the bike (again all in my own opinion). Appreciate the Marquez story ran and ran last year and some of us have different opinions as to whether he did anything wrong - don't want to open that can of worms again, just showing what I've done to my bike.

    Anyway, here goes:

    Honda don't make the yoke cover for the SP so my buddy had one specially made.....

    My friend also detailed the bike and in the rare sun of today it's mega bright.

    Next items being considered are rear hugger, quick action throttle and maybe a quickshifter.......

    Cheers

    Cheers, not a one off, asked Vertu Honda Nottingham for a 2015 Repsol rep when I ordered my bike last year. Sent them loads off photos of the GP bike, Racepaint painted it and then Vertu did a few more I think. They have a sister branch in Grantham.

    Looks like it's always been there. Like the yoke protector. I bought one once for mine as the key fob was wearing the paint off. The bloody thing took ages to come and the glue was so crap, by the time I'd pressed down on the right hand side, the left hand side had already come unstuck, but your one looks pukka.

    Hi,

    Friend of my friends made it for me, std Honda one doesn't quite fit an SP so made it up after taking measurements. Graphics are mainly stickers mate. Sorry for late reply.

    Cheers
