  6. Aye but that fairing was not part of the MK5/LM1000 UE package

    GULP its sitting at a tad below 7.5k now with about 12 hours to go and reserve not met.

    Another E-Bay special where he wants to re-coup all his time and money back

    Good luck to him

  7. How would you do a U-Turn?

  8. At least a 10 point turn unless you do a 180 degree stoppie or introduce a little wheel spin...

  9. I wonder why he actually bothered to do it.............besides, he says it is based on the Ultima Edizione.......so how can it be No.83?

  10. From what someone said above it's a butchered limited edition! The others are proper.

  12. Talk about a two bob tie spoiling a Savile Row suit, check out the modern arrow head indicators, totally out of place.

  13. Yeah that's interesting Al, the photos show a number 83 plaque. That said I don't think there was anything particularly special about the UE.

    I agree on the U-turn, must be a complete bitch to maneuver. For me its something different and I do like it, but at the end of the day its impractical, nice concept though.

    On the tricky to maneuver front take a look at the real thing been ridden, scrub through to 4:40

  16. I would have thought with that green they would right up your street. Don't forget before you question my taste again how feckin cool I think early endurance, AMA racers etc are esp kr1000f's

  17. OK, I'll paint it red or yellow :(

  18. God help us all...... yet another style over substance piece of crap. How disappointed are you going to be with everyone and his dog overtaking you ? You can't go round bends and, apparently, you can't sell it afterwards either ! It reminds me of an article I read in some performance car mag, years ago.... a guy in Australia had built a rather pretty body around an Austin 2200, 6 cylinder, transverse engine/transmission unit. What an utter waste of time. Very slow, very thirstly, very heavy and dreadfully unreliable ! The advice, I believe, was to start again.

    However I'm going to stick with rebuilding the Sfida 1100. I dunno how guys with bike collections do it, I struggle to maintain 2.
