Without doubt it looks better. But wasn't a big ask as the standard one, like always is bloody awful
Lol, vive la difference.
If our bikes were girls and stood side by side I wouldn't be rushing past mine to get to yours
I wasn't insulting yours, just standard back end designs in general

That's the VASTLY superior 500cc single. Adding an extra cylinder just over complicates things

Just in case you fancy hunting down KTM390s

In all seriousness though, with that exhaust etc, might be worth a couple of hours on the dyno with one of these- something you can twiddle with at home too.

the only thing it really needs now is
fancy suspension and tyres.
That can often be more spendy than the likes of a PC,but more worthwhile in the pleasure stakes imo.

Looking good but the seats too short or the rear frame wants cutting back to the seat

I'd strap a little bag on that bit of frame, put the butties in.

Does that happen ?

That's a major league sandpit,right there.
Lovely bark from the pipes.

It actually has a much angrier sound than that, but the phone is a bit gash at recording sound, if you listen you can hear it deaden the sound, I tried to put the phone near the exhaust but it can't cope with it and just comes out muted.
I'll have to look for my Go-Pro and see if that's better.
Condenser mics,they compress the fook out of levels.

Proper old twin engine sound that, from what I can tell through a phone mic anyway!

Yeah I suppose, it’s a perception thing, I’ve made it my own and tailored it to what I want but because I don’t have much money tied up in it and it’s no frills it feels like an uncomplicated and undemanding way of just enjoying being on two wheels.
Aye, nothing at all wrong with that

you've obviously never ridden a K series BMW - they have the weirdest handling in the world and you will be glad to hand it back.

I did ride a CCM of a mate of GPs and IanBs though... the only reason i smiled was relief.

I've got a flying brick K series, I quite like it. The lack of feel from the front end only really shows up when you start really pushing on.

Or try to go around any corners above 25 mph ...
