Very nice. Apparently prices are starting to go up on the gen 1's. Used to have one myself....in the same colour!

Well not a fan of orange but that looks outstanding! What a lovely looking, well maintained beast. Very nice

I got mine in red but didn't like the colour, I think satin black suits it better

Loving the colours on the bike underdog. Are the fairings that cover the radiator sides gen carbon fibre or that stick on stuff? By the way what is the name of that particular fairing? I'd like to have a titanium look do you know if that's possible?

Cheers

The only carbon fibre on the bike are the end cans, the radiator cowls are actually satin black, the side panels and the injector covers are wrapped in gloss black, the rest of the bike is satin black

When you say titanium, how do you mean as titanium is essentially light flat grey in colour

Titanium as in the colour you have described. I'll have a look on ebay for some titanium effect wrap. There is carbon fibre wrap on my radiator cowels, injector covers and the side panels. It looks quite shonky up close, the previous owner who did the work hasn't paid attention to detail. I've already ripped the CF wrap from my fly screen. And I think the bike looks better for it. When I get the chance I will upload some pics of the parts that are bothering me, I'll start a new thread so that I can hopefully get more feedback and I'll let you know when I do.

I have no idea where that is, I'm in Northampton

It's about 80 mile away. Close enough to go for a ride at least!

Yeah - i should sort that out.....bought it from my neighbour....he owned it for years and in all the time he lived in our road i never saw him ride it.....i got it with something like 3k on it...it was near immaculate. Had stock pipes on it. I was lucky to find that full titanium akra for it also...
