    Yes, in the sense that an XJR1300 is a BIG FAT Scorpio.

    So I'm right then...
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Wow, nice choice mate, those big muscle bikes are awesome.

    "Yoshimura" is Japanese for "effeminate flatulence". TBR is Two Brothers Racing. Made in the US of A from quality materials. The noise is, well, extremely "safe".

    For the Bandit, but I'm sure the same can will do the job for the Big Fucker too. WMC have a demo Bandit 1250 with a TBR on. The difference from the stock can is noticeable...

    I can recommend the carbon ones. Fantastic noise. I was won over by the TBRs Dafe had on his SV1000, and haven't been disappointed. They weigh fuck all, which will save you a few kg in sprung weight.

    Noice choice! Do you REALLY need to go one tooth down on the countershaft sprocket...? I would think you'd have some trubble keepin' the front down!

    Sure, it would assist the top-gear roll-on's but who's gunna match you anyways?

    Ah, yes.

    Fear not; all relevant investigations will be made in due course, in the fullness of time, when the time is ripe.

    Frankly, if the bike was being delivered with such items already fitted, my head would be in danger of exploding from the overload of sheer awesomeness.

    One wants to approach these matters gently, one step at a time, savouring the mouthfuls of two-wheeled nirvana in manageable bite-sized chunks.

    New Bike

    Oh God! Now it'll bloody rain all over the Christmas holidays...

    Well that's what it does everytime I buy a new bike. If y'all get a wet arse while travelling, at least this time we know who to blame...

    Enjoy
