I rode one on the Isle of Man where you could get it to top speed legally! I did, and I have to say it was bliddy fast..
I decided I liked my licence so bought a VFR Limited Edition, didn't have anything like as much done to it - engine was standard, Remus end can, Proflex shock and adjustable rear sets, and of course the paint job by Dream Machine and the little plaque on the top yoke.
A lovely bike, really sorry I sold it.

That's less torque (much more important than BHP) than a standard carb Bird.:dunno:


My V&M is still staying in the crate.

you can take the piss all you like.............:neenaw:


thay blow up as most think its a honda and there is no need to cheak the oil..........

but with no oil rings it dose use a bit............

BUT It's so much fun to ride i dont mind...................

Ummm, question....no oil control rings?? I`ve never seen a 4 stroke piston without oil rings. I`m not surprised you`re using a bit! Don`t suppose you know who makes the pistons?

The pistons are 13:1 Wiseco and they do have oil control rings.
