I spotted this SERT edition GSX8R on the tinternets, apparently its only an official model in France and it's been around a couple of years.

Best looking GSX8R imho...

Good god, I'm not sure I've ever seen a more deserving case of shouting from the hills - "I want to hear what it sounds like on the move"

My mate down the road has just been given this. His mate who i don't know, died recently ish and his wife wanted the bike to go to someone who would look after it, kind of thing.

Not seen it yet but he says it's absolutely mint. Think he's picking it up today. Jammy bugger. 👍

Looks a fairly original example,a very useable old bike.

That brings back memories,a couple of my mate's had CB550's back in the day,I don't recall them having any problems.
They both ended up with Z900's.

There was the usual Honda corporate blind spot of shitty cam chain tensioners,but that's likely to have been sorted by now.

I think that’s ugly. Sort of retro but doesn’t look like any bike from the past, or something.
