I've been lurking on the forum for a while, whilst I decide on what my next bike is going to be. I thought it was time to say hello, as I took a MSV4 for a test ride on Monday. Coming from a 2018 Z1000SX, so quite a different bike.

I'll post my thoughts in the MS forum.

Thought we could try a thread showing other things we tinker with outside of engines and bikes...I suspect a lot of people on here are building more than just motorbikes.

I've just finished these...took a decent amount of time to get them right, actually bloody ages.

Right I’ve been back and forth on this for a few months and I’ve decided what the hell, let’s see if I can do it. Sure it’s gonna annoy some folk, but the winters long and if I don’t do it I’ll only do something else equally as pointless

Can I make a full set of MotoGP Ducati Factory bodywork to fit a panigale V4?

So I started by buying a 1:18 Jack miller model GP22 factory bike and scanned it with one of my RevoPoint 3D scanners. With the 3D model I’ve started remodelling the panels in CAD and with a scan of my V4 (without fairing) I’ve scaled the GP22 panels and overlayed on the V4 mesh.
so while I’m sure I can make the fairings by 3D printing and them either making a mould or skinning them directly in fibreglass or carbon fibre, I’ve not decided yet and I think there will be some trial and error along the way. So I’ll probably make some videos to show the carnage and chaos of trying to make a complete set of MotoGP panels

so I’ll pop some updates on here as I go...

I have just completed a nut and bolt restoration of this Supersport 900 i.e over the last 18 months and I am now selling it to someone to enjoy it and to find another project.
I haven't advertised anywhere else as I would like this bike to go to someone in here who loves these bikes. I have spent quite a lot to get this bike as near to a new bike as possible and I have more than 100 photos of the works I have gone through during the rebuild which I'm happy to share. The bike has 15000 miles, service history, two keys, 7 previous owners and ULEZ exempt.
Apologies for the long list of things done to the bike:
Front wheel: New bearings, new seals, new speedo drive seal, powder coated, new valve and new Pirelli tire
Rear Wheel: New bearings, new seals, powder coated, new cush drives, new valve and new Pirelli tire
Frame: Powder coated new head bearings, new stainless steels bolts and nuts, engine bolts and nuts are original
Front frame: powder coated, replaced anti vibration clock...

Hello Folks
Haven’t posted anything for a while certainly not pictures
I picked up a 2015 1200S at the end of the season.
Cleaned it up, new chain and sprockets, a few titanium nuts and bolts here and there (Thanks Addiction Motorsport). Couldn’t help but stick a new pair of wheels on, Domino grips, indicators, tail tidy, Carbon fibre hugger and chain guard, AEM anodised wheel washer, screen and had belts done.
When I picked it up it needed a bit of tlc. Previous owner had mechanical sympathy but I don’t think he knew what a sponge was, not bad by any means but I’m a bit of a clean freak. One of the past owners has spent a bit, steering damper, termi’s.

This is getting a bit silly !!

Took delivery of my new crash hat today, I’ve gone back to Arai. Last one was an AGV which was good but I wanted a Schwantz replica this time. ( had a Doohan as my last Arai)

Evening all,

after a great deal of consideration and change in circumstances, I need to find a new home for my 1993 Monster 900.

I’ve owned it for 19+ years, I was Moto Rapido’s first bike sale when they opened up as a small independent shop. I had a huge amount of fun and met lots of great friends over the next 10-12 years, but other bikes have come and gone so the 900 effectively came off the road and has been dry stored ever since - I last had it running about 3-4 years ago with new belts at the time.

it is a very early build, around April/May 1993 and was imported from Germany by Metropolis in London and first registered in August 1993 and was fitted with Road Racing dash and rev counter. Over my time I’ve added other period correct parts like the Leo Vince cans and a dynojet kit and open air box & air filter plus a few other parts. I have all the original parts stored away (even the very early silencers and carbon heal guards). All paint is original aside from the engine...

Hi,
Newish 996R member on here, be good to talk to any other fellow owners! I have a standard 998 as well, awesome bike
Cheers

Hi everyone

The Ducati 999 must be one of the most underrated superbikes ever. 3 WSBK titles on the one hand, a controversial design on the other. Well, whatever, she’s mine now and that makes me very happy:

Hi everyone, ive taken the plunge into a 2003 999 with a few bolt ons from the previous owner. this beauty replaces my 2008 hayabusa and will sit along side my 2003 Z1000, which ive owned since 2005. i was hankering after a V twn for a while and nearly bought an Aprilia RSV1000 factory, but the sheer beauty of the 999 had the deciding factor!! it arrived 3 weeks ago and ive amassed 5 miles... its cold down south!! im aiming to do some trackdays on it and have booked Donington in late July and will also book Castle Combe as its my local track.
I live just outside of Bath, so any locals around give mne a shout!!

Looking forward to reading some interesting stuff and a lot of nonsence i hope!!

Well today for my first ride of my new (to me) 1299s Panigale it’s 2015 with nearly 6k on the clock, and as an owner of 996 I found the mannerism to be quite similar. firstly it does not like town 1st gear most of the time 3000rpm below that need to slip the clutch, similar to 996. The handling is so light and precise looking forward to some nice dry days to explore a little further. On the whole it’s a grown up 996 with electronics and I think we are going to get along just fine. 1st mod is going to be tank grips and comfort seat not that I did not find the seat uncomfortable but it’s very slippery.

Hi everyone,

Just bought a 66 plate 1199R with just under 6K on the clock. It has been about 7 years since I sold my last Panigale and regretted selling it everyday. Still smile on my face again now.

Here the finished product, i think it looks clean and classy

Found this pic of me selling my 350 bullet I rode round India and Nepal to an Israeli fella who was going back the other way
Absolute heap of shit that broke down more times than I can remember but it cost me £450 for the best 9 months of my life.
Whats not to love (apart from my terrible long hair).
