I had one of the 1984 models in red. Fantastic bike! Sold with 63,000 trouble free kilometres on it. I think Acerbis made a 23 litre fuel tank for them, too.

I just picked up an 05,I just based on the short ride I have had on it, It will get a new front sprocket (a tooth or 2), and open the air box a bit.

Andy I love your bike so much I bought one! I'm in South Wales UK and flew to Edinburgh to ride it 500miles home. My question is did you know of an alternative sump guard to the ricochet one. Maybe something from another bike that fits? Also do you have any issues with the side panels off? I'm thinking of just making something simple to keep the bits covered.

Hey Jon that's cool! I do not know of any other make of bashplate which will fit. But one can fabricate something very easily using 5mm aluminum plate, grinder and drill

Pre-1990 was 28hp. I’d like to know what reduced the power and can it be easily changed back. I’m actually looking at a 1998 that’s in great shape.
