Done doing what man?

[**R1**]

Done doing what man?paint;...we(me and my painter) are hoping it will be one of the hottest R1's around..it's already making ok power at 153rwhp and I have put a bunch of flashy stuff on it like CRG leavers, ohlins damper, rear sets, adjustable clipons, etc, just needs paint to finnish it all off.

should have it all back in 3 weeks.

I have attached a pic of my painters Rizzla GSXR, should give u an idea of what he's doing for the R1

That seems pretty similiar to your XJ550, you're quite talented at this customising lark, arent you?

I love the look of that classic cafe racer with the three pipes. It reminds me of my old NS400R with three pipes at the rear. Nice.... :niceone:

As far as I am aware Yamaha did not make a two stroke triple Motorcycle that was mass produced, did I cover my arse enough then?

I've only ever heard of that colour scheme reffered to as the Kenny Roberts colour scheme so you may be right, how did it come about then?
