When PauloHRC got a new SP!!

if carling did paint jobs, I am starting to like the looks new blade, nice bike Paulo

 

Honda Battery charger?? What my trusty Oxford Oximiser won't do the job??

What do I need then??

And so begins a new learning curve

 

Hi I don't think so as my trusty old optimate had to be replaced as the sp has a Lithium battery...so I got the dealer to throw one in.....

2 or 3 would be expected on an all new model. 5 is a bit excessive though. 2017 fireblade had 1 officially didn't it? Several more unofficial if you count the throttle updates done on the 2019 bike though.

 

Nothing wrong on my throttle.....or ecu.....however better than fuel leaking out of the tank and catching fire or burning your bollocks off

 

It's Italian, bit of fire is to be expected.

 

Cheers Nigel, will see what the dealer can do or buy one of them if I have too!

 

Sweet ride mate

 

loving the paint scheme ,

 

Yep, the 2017 was the water seeping into the fuel filler. Delayed delivery for some guys, including a member on here but I don't recall his tag. I know it wasn't @nozdog though because I would have recognised the avatar

 

Interesting! A guy on the aprilia forum has this:

 

Well done mate! Beautiful bike, best of luck with it!

 

I've ridden with this guy before. I don't know him, but I know the plate. How fekking weird is that?

 

VERY!!

The old cliche 'small world' and 'six degrees of separation' come to mind.

 

Looks absolutely FANTASTIC!
I Wish you all a happy New year!!

 

Well done mate, I bought my SP in August and managed to squeeze 1200 awesome miles out of it but I do daily commute on my other bike, it’s New Year’s Day and all I can think about is spring is on its way, then commuting duties will switch bikes and I will ride it everyday once the salt has long gone, rain does not bother me it won’t shrink I look after my bikes. I will also manage the odd dry day here and there until the real season starts Awesome bike and one of the best blades I have ridden although they are all brilliant. I have done over 220 miles in a single day and could have repeated it and I am no youngster. Enjoy it when it comes. Posting the pictures reminds just me how lucky I am. And how great 2019 will be.

Happy new year all...........

 

Great pics mate hope to enjoy the bike and put some miles on it.....not too many though!

 

I'm qualified to give lessons on that! I'll switch to Google Maps and design a nice little loop for you!
