    I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

    Treat it nice and in my opinion you have the perfect bike.

    Shame they aren't a twin or V4.....

    On a side note, I found why my brakes were acting funny, the new pads were moving a fraction and catching the lip on the disks. So....that's taken car of I hope and I shall see tomorrow how well they work. I'm glad I didn't get any lock up to be honest

    a v4 would be wayy to cool!
    possibly a tl750 concept in the making?

    are the pads excessively worn on one side now?

    yeh those discs did have quite a lip eh...

    as for the gsxr, I'm sure there'll be no shortage of test pilots! and yeh shame it ain't a twin, but if we play with the firing order a bit we could make it sound a bit better

    no now! just because your bike seems to have a complete absence of two cylinders doesn't mean you have to retard normal bikes

    New age NR750 would be wicked. Or a cheap Drysdale 750 V8...
    Pads are fine enough...

    NR750 will always be one of a kind, but they do need to get a bit more into the realms of mad engineering I reckon. Speaking of which, was having a yarn with the workshop techs today, they reckon I should build an engine, makes me tempted to get a job at massey

    I don't care much for their moral conundrums at all, so they can suck it up.
    Same goes for womens....

    Wicked, I want in on this....
    Imagine if they decided to build more MC22/NC35s with injection, newer tech and far more revs.... 20+ thousand RPM and 50hp 250cc beasts...
    Or make a water cooled RC166 for the road....60hp back in 1966 from a 250... What the fuuuuuck?
