If I assessed my mojo for anything at 4.15am (AM!), flatlined would be an understatement. Go back to bed, and try again in the morning. UKIMS.

Now leaned towards the 959. Slipper clutch...but those european exhausts. 🤔

It's mainly for trackdays and the odd runout, doesn't need to be comfy. Gonna have a proper look at one next week. The 959 is in Pole position as I hit the fullstops...

Had a good look at a 959 today, very nice, looks ace and sounds better, however, I have a question....

The exhaust pipe is a shorty and would probably need some secondhand stocks off ebay, no probs. But, why the dents in the horizontal section. ??

They shouldn't be there but is it for airflow or pops and bangs. 🤷‍♂️ What you reckon ??

More likely crash damage.

Check the sump plug isn't drilled and it's not an ex-race bike with the mint original fairings refitted for sale.

No idea, looks very odd. I'd say it'd been dropped onto something if there was any other evidence of it being dropped but can't see anything obvious from the pic and onto what???

If someone did it with a hammer....WTF.

Bikes in excellent nick with no signs of any other damage, Those dents look and feel like they've been done for a purpose. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I ain't particularly gonna get this one but I'm happy with sitting position, didn't ride it through.

That's odd! It looks intentional going by the spacing. Did the dealer have an explanation?

That's CMC from the looks of it, they're usually fairly straight.

Yes cannock. Salesman didn't have any idea's either, apparently. Started nicely though and did sound nice, but doubt the noise police at TDs would appreciate it.
