I haven't seen one as clean as this before. I'd be scared to ride it and get it dirty! 16k to you sir/madam. :thumbup:

From the Kramer Motorcycles UK & Ireland Ltd friendface page...

The first GP2-R in the UK goes to a new home. Dyno run courtesy of RJS Superbikes shows just how good this incredible machine is straight out of the box. Orders now being taken for Spring 22 delivery.

I know, thoughtless.

Not even sure it would get ridden, probably just a show piece

Wouldn't it be a more accurate mock up if there was a con-rod stuck out the side of the engine?

He always has some expensive classics.

BUT. I can't get out of my head the 2 bikes me and a mate bought from him which were lemons and the fact that locally he was known as Dodgy Frank. Something which I found out when explaining the lemons to people, especially other bike dealers who universally called him that.

Granted that was in the mid 90s and lots might have changed but I'm like an elephant with shit like that. I see a mint classic bike, click on it and see which shop it is and then lose interest

I always think multi cylinder 2 strokes at idle sound like a group of mates chatting together. Nobody listening to anyone else. OK - it's just me, but I like the image.
