    Turns out this is an essential item & can be shipped in level 4. Fukin really?!

    Skully looks uncertain, and scared, and maybe a bit sad. This isn't a tough, badass skull bolt. This is the skull bolt that the other skull bolts didn't invite to the party. Poor Skully.

    He says that the first ones (p reg?) were full power, following years were restricted.

    Not so much power as to be worth three times the price though.

    the added word 'collectable' is worth six grand more. your local new classic dealer using the sales pitch etc. dunno anything about these guys but when they first started there was one line about the bikes and the rest about how shiny their new showroom was

    It means they cut and pasted the blurb off a UK website!

    So the P bit is essentially meaningless gap filler then?
    I quite like the red one, seems a bargain.

    He is a drug addled muppet. The only TL to have is the R. Ohlins or Maxton shock, fork rebuild or GSXR front end, new reg rec. Sorted.

    He's also got the "Drug dealer special" supercharged V Rod. I do like the RGV250RK he has

    The P is what he is smoking.

    Shit surprised the 3k one is being haggled down. They don't last big kms but should be worth a punt. Fun to ride but suspension is crude, oddly I thought the forks were worse on my mates but I didn't push it for long enough to heat the rear on a newish bike. Wheelies like a goodun.

    You forgot the extra weight with the R they chucked that in with the purchase price not to mention there ugly as fuck imo,Ohlins or Maxton damper without doubt are good but bang for buck not so much all things considered,if the spring on a stick is good then a Hagon damper works fine in my experience if not then Bitubo makes an alternative thats worked well for many.Agreed on either of the front end alternatives,chuck in some pissing around with airbox,decent exhaust and there much fun.10K for the green ones a chuckle at best that said it looks tidy enough and given 10k is fuck all to some who knows,dont ask you dont get.On the "full power' thing some mucking about with something as basic as an old Yosh ecu adjuster has results,spent far more than i can remember on mine over the years and certainly more than i will ever get back but fun factor wise it owes me nothing.Back in the day i used to love the "slapper" comments from plenty,Cathcart tried but simply said "ive had more headshake on a GSXR'.

    A retrospective test I read pointed out that when the Suzuki came out the steering was considered twitchy. The writer pointed out that what was thought quick then was later normal. Nobody who has ridden a modern 600 sprotbike should be the least discombobulated.

    98tls though is the expert.

    No expert just have a fondness for the things,fwiw on the "twitchy' thing they recalled the first ones and fitted a steering damper.
