Went to Germany with mates from here, one of the boys was on his. I sat on it in car park at Folkestone and later declined my offer of a ride, seemed very very uncomfortable. Cool as heck. But very uncomfortableDodgy69 wrote: Sat Oct 28, 2023 5:49 pm Still never seen one of these on the roads.

Love the look of those. Must be fairly easy to put a normal handlebar on what with the funny bicycle bars / top yoke they have - or are the footpegs different too?weeksy wrote: Sat Oct 28, 2023 5:59 pmWent to Germany with mates from here, one of the boys was on his.

That must be the only one left with the standard bars on. Everyone I know fits 'proper' bars to them as the drops just double you up and put too much pressure on the wristsChrisW wrote: Sat Oct 28, 2023 6:10 pmLove the look of those.

Unfortunately not, just saw it on thier Instagram page. I really like it overall, but the headlight seems far too small. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.Potter wrote: Sat Oct 28, 2023 4:16 pmAny pics?tricol wrote: Sat Oct 28, 2023 3:47 pm The racing pack with lower fairing is a nice option, and does change the looks quite a bit
The GP version is really growing on me, it's the TRX thing I think, I was looking at them on the Fowlers website and it's nice.

No coincidence I suppose that all the ones I see for sale have the standard bars.Demannu wrote: Sat Oct 28, 2023 10:05 pm That must be the only one left with the standard bars on. Everyone I know fits 'proper' bars to them as the drops just double you up and put too much pressure on the wrists
I agree - I was hoping for something a little more like this:
How about this, it's way cool.Potter wrote: Mon Oct 30, 2023 12:25 pmIt might not be perfect but I'm struggling to see much that I don't like with that, it's the bike I would have drooled over in the early 90's, except it's almost certainly going to be a better bike than anything available in the early 90's.
I keep looking at TZRs and TZ250s but that time for me has passed by, but this might be the ticket.
I'll be going right past my local Yamaha place later this week, I think I'll call in for a brew and see when they reckon these might appear.
My mate called me last week and said he's very tempted to buy the RD500 looking one ready for spring next year, so if he buys that then I'll have a riding buddy again and he's gearing up for retirement at the same time as me, so in that case I'll be very tempted to put my money down on one of these GPs.
Even if I don't ride it much I'll be just as happy having that as an ornament in our annex as I would riding it.
I do like that, apart from the tail piece/seat unit.MyLittleStudPony wrote: Mon Oct 30, 2023 2:54 pmHow about this, it's way cool.Potter wrote: Mon Oct 30, 2023 12:25 pmIt might not be perfect but I'm struggling to see much that I don't like with that, it's the bike I would have drooled over in the early 90's, except it's almost certainly going to be a better bike than anything available in the early 90's.ChrisW wrote: Mon Oct 30, 2023 8:43 am

I was looking at what you get on the CB1000R+ compared with the CB1000R, the radiator guard / grill thing is about £320, it's a bit of stamped aluminium sheet with some holes and a CB1000R logo.mangocrazy wrote: Thu Nov 02, 2023 12:33 pm Just seen the list price of the XSR900GP lower fairing/belly pan - £623. To my mind that should be fitted as OE.
