    EVERY trim i could see is Fullsix carbon, the exhaust looks amazing in person, 98% of the bolts are TI and the swingarm is something else!! The pictures really don't do it justice....

  5. My 899 engine is in there some where having a rebuild, do you get over there often ?
     
  6. First time using them this year and its where ill be going from now on. Rick did give me a tour round yesterday and showed me the dedicated engine room... mmmmmm. Had a look the at superleggera track bike he's building and the fullsix 21L tank had just turned up, so beautiful and light! The whole cave is just full of beautiful bikes and components, i could literally stay all day.
     
  7. Yea the guys there are so helpful,Rick attention to detail is second to none,he has a genuine talent for building beautiful race bikes.Might catch up with you there one day :upyeah:
     
  8. Anyone know how much the Pierobon swingarm is? I emailed them last week, but they must have decided I can’t afford it and not returned my email!

  9. Approx 4k :astonished: ,not sure if i actually like them or not !!!!!!!
     
  10. I think the style would work well on mine. Also lighter and stiffer.... but at that price I’d rather buy a couple of pairs of lightweight wheels!!

  12. The paddock stand prices are insane alone
     
  13. I know! They actually list those prices on their site. The swingarm is a mystery on there though... which is always a sign!!
     
  14. That is sexual
     
  15. I've met the chap who owns that bike. He's a really nice bloke. He hardly ever rides it, in fact it's done hardly any mileage at all. He told me what he's spent on it he could have easily bought a panigale R and still had a pile of money left. But he wanted to create something different, a real one off, no expense spared bike. He's gone through every detail right down to titinium bolts throughout. It's a real labour of love and a credit to him. I think the swingarm was around about £2500

  16. Yeah apparently it's on around 1,200 miles and he has a 17 plate 1299s with 300 miles on the clock which he's starting to make that special next. The swingarm works out a little under £4,000 not including labour
     
  17. The question would be have you ridden it yet since I bumped it to you 12 months ago @jhp? :upyeah: :p
