When PauloHRC got a new SP!!

One step ahead of you there @nigelrb !!

 

Tomorrow's ETA is 09:00 hrs !!!!!

 

In more ways than one! They look ace compared to my crap R & Gs. I hate being behind the times. What did you buy? I can't work out the name on them!

 

Lots of pics needed

 

They are BIKETEK .....half decent brand, they do tyre warmers etc. £15 !

I wanted all silver really.

 

Tailtidy all ready and waiting!

 

And I just wouldn't be me if I didn't have some decals on standby

 

I had the team HRC ones specially made, my sticker guy has now created them for general sale on eBay using the image I sent him!

 

How have the insurance quotes been on the SP Paul?

 

I've not approached my insurer yet about changing the bike over, I've been looking at fresh quotes on mcn compare, looking at around 500 quid. I'm slap bang in the middle of an insurance year. Currently I have 2.5 years no claims, the only way I can get up to 3 years is if I stay with current insurer until June right?

Or I take out a fresh policy but then I can only declare 2 years no claims right. Not sure what do at the moment. Companies normally sting you for changing your bike half way through!

 

That sounds about right...tbh they sting you every which way anyhow's

 

My sp is defo the 17 model I got it in February 18 but it’s clearly a 17 model

 

Yep. There always seems to be confusion over this. A bike or vehicle is dated by its year of manufacture as recorded on the VIN. Certainly our V5s note 'Date of First Registration' but that is merely a reference for registration and not year of manufacture.

Take this VTR SP1 at Hunts Motorcycles for instance: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-Ne...=item3b1ae61c42:g:svUAAOSwmfhX4BwV:rk:41:pf:0
It is a year 2000 model but never been registered. If it were to be registered tomorrow, it will still be a 2000 model but first registered in 2019.

 

One more sleep Paulo
Bet you can't wait, so envy you
Enjoy the day.

 

I'm a little giddy to say the least

Probably just gonna sit and stare at it for a while

 

Exited for you Paulo.

Remember getting mine and sitting on the freezing cold garage floor looking at it for hours!

 

What's the hold up?

Had it for 30 mins and no pics yet?

 

He's still walking round it with a stiffie

 

Aaaarrrrggggghhhhh it's here !!!!!
The guy that dropped it off has just been going through the rider modes and setting and now my head hurts!!!

 

Oh yeah, I remember those things! Damn ageing process.
