That really is the businness stevie....how could you sell her????, i wonder if it is still alive, have you checked if it is still taxed?...


Was the whole 125 front just a one off or is that a common mod on the r1?


Also....fire extinguisher....or nos, id think extinguisher but who knows with a bike like that.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike

It broke my heart when she went. I had almost 7 years building her, and about 45000 miles of enjoyment.
It was time for a change, but the whole trying to grow up thing didn't last (hence the fz1)
The front end was a one off never done before, but certainly turned heads wherever she went.
And yes, she is still alive somewhere down south last time I looked.

Steve, Got two sets of fat bars, I set of renthal risers, one set of standard riser converters and some bar ends if you wanna try out. Silver bars are 810 wide, ktm 672 bend. Renthal site will tell you everything about rise etc when you check that code. Black bars are their new streetfighterbars, only available in black, no ode but only 770 wide some be not enough for you, though you could space out the bar ends mebbe 10-15 mill. Ktm bars are dense foam filled to reduce vibration
