Ah the WN :) Happy days :) ....ish!

I had the blue, white and pink one. Straight line bus. it wasn't the most nimble machine I've ever ridden. I remember it as the season when Jamie Whitham was throwing his race bike into the scenery at regular intervals. He had a HUGE crash at the second half of the gooseneck at Cadwell right in front of me.
I was going to say the WN was an evil handling pig, but it wasn't evil handling, it was just a pig, amazing things cradle framed GSXR750s, the first ones from 1985 are the best, and the last ones are the worst, they gain weight as they get newer without gaining a lot of power.

The worst-handling bike I rode was the CB550FK. That wanted to slap the tank every single bloody roundabout. The WN just wanted to go straight over!

"Honda CB500 twin cylnder bespoke built cafe racer. New build including all new paint, tyres, chain and sprokets, braided lines. Please call for full details , too much to list! This unique, bespoke built cafe racer is a new build, so everything is new or expertly renovated.
Features silicone coolant hoses, race seat, LED indicators, 'Ace' bars, wavey discs, bar end mirrors and rear set footrests.
This brilliant bike also comes with megaphone silincers with wrapped header pipes, brand new Metzeler tyres plus a host of one off machined parts."

So... mostly bolt-on parts. Meanwhile it's also covered 54,753 miles, even if the build quality is better than the spelling, the seller wants me to pay over £1 for each of those miles! £6k!!!
