MT, if you do get an NR750; it can sit in the kitchen with my RVF. You can visit it any time you want.

Haha yeah they're both Brendon's bikes, the bike with the spare frame & bodywork is the one that was swiped from from Hamilton during a test ride back in the mid 90s. B.P won the tender for it when it was recovered, whoever the prick was that took it had bored a hole through the frame so BP got another frame for it plus new panels to replace the ones that had been roughed up. It's been dyno'd at 118hp at the wheel & the 2nd bike went 112hp. Both are on display in his shop & he uses them as well, took one to the brass this year.

Ha nothing wrong with down here if your into being able to see the curvature of the earth. Just got to have something that's quick in a straight line to get to the twisties faster

If you're referring to the NR then from what I've read they were quite fast and handled reasonably well, but suffered from excessive weight (and excessive price tag if you ditched it !!)

I reckon a good ZXR-750 from Chertsey may give one a run for it's money

I remember we werent allowed to service them , the fellas from the factory did that , Did see the internals of the engine when it came out , I was on a training course and the engine was onthe bench, The rings hada hard time , and the wieght which has been said . Nice sound, but i wouldn t pay that money for the same ride as a Rc 30 ( I wouldnt even buy an RC 30, you can have a more fun on a d7 bantam )

Still they sold one or two, they still pop up on the auctions sometimes ...

Happy with his bike
