    I doubt you'd get an SS at that price, not a tidy one anyway

    I imagine that you could get some nicely prepared replica bodywork and controls to fit to that if it was at a reasonable price, then you could Walter Mitty owning an SS, or even a Candy red GT. Or Orange. I like Orange.

    Should have enough left over to pay the man servant to transport you within suitable distance of where you want to ,'arrive '.

    As it is it looks like Ginacarlo Fillapa (spelling, but excellent superbike rider back in 1990 ish). His mother probably loved him.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    I thought the 860's were conventional valve operation i.e. valvesprings not desmo.

    is that right?

    That won't bother Walter in the slightest. Bevel and kick start is close enough.

    Jesus, who signed off on that tank/sidecover arrangement?

    Give it the low rent cafe racer, no sidecover, cx500 tank and brown seat cover. It would look terrible,. . . but an improvement.

    Win or die and massive wheelies either way.

    I cant remember exactly how it went but there was a story of him falling of a bike in the the Euro MX series where he crashed off and ran into his team mate and he was that angry that he took off on his team mates bike by mistake, and rode like a demon got back to second of something only to be black-flagged for not having his own bike.
    Every thing I have seen suggests massive wheelies in shallow sumped pre teslaretta dukes is not a good long term strategy but the bikes he used used have the engines changed each session.

    I read something the other day about how the Cagiva owner paid him a pension after he had a serious injury on the 916.
