It is a great bike to ride pal, even in this spec its a better road bike than most 1000's. The midrange is so strong its very easy to ride in that respect, its got its niggles but there just things that make it authentic and thats a good thing right?

That looks really decent quality fibreglass. I'm not a massive fan of the looks of the RC45 mainly because of the standard top fairing, but that is stunning.

You managed to take it apart ok then. The seat units a bit of a swine but you get the hang of it. If you lift the tank and take the air box lid off you see the biggest set of throttle bodies out there.

Im glad you said that :grin: i spent about 20 mins carefully moving it bit by bit it get it off. I was thinking it cant be this hard, the nose cone and lowers took all of 30 seconds to remove! The tank is full to the top so i'll leave removing that till tomorrow when ive emptied it :grin:

It is great under the skin, i could look at it all day long.

Sorry once more for my lateness and thanks again for waiting! You got 1 more Karma point just for that! :smile:
Now you must excuse me, for I must go look at the photos you took of the "Beast"; some more drooling is needed!!! :drool:

Hey speedy, yea got the RC back home safely and just before darkness fell. I decided to bin the motorways on the way home and took the scenic (more fun) route home, its amazing how quick 24L of fuel disapears when your having fun :grin: For an hour i was eddie lawson on my own private suzuka track, just with the odd car to deal with :?

Theres only 1 way to enjoy this bike, forget the no mirrors, lights speedo etc. Head down and reveal in its awsomeness, BIG smiles garrantee'd
