Heh, you mad bugger. As it goes, I'm off to see this on Sunday, with a view to buying it (warning though, grainy photo alert). http://www.rosbif.org/ukrm/store/bike.jpg It's a girls bike. Really. One of the lasses at work owns it and she can't ride it for some reason.
What the hell is it? Something old with a modern GSXR fairing and an MV tail unit is about all I can gather.

Ah, good. When I looked at the pic earlier, I thought something was odd, but decided to STFU in case it was just my ignorance showing. Burn the heretic!

It's a Suzuki GSX750F Teapot with Gixer Thou K1 fairing and an MV seat unit, by the looks of things. It's so utterly disgudting that Cab really should buy it.
Well, I've just got back from seeing it, after having done over 320km to view (and 300km of that was in the pissing rain). The only part that you missed was that the pipes are from a Duke. Saying that, apparently the previous owner had to do some major work to get them to fit under the tail piece properly. So changing the downpipes in the future wouldn't be an easy job. The paint job is really nice. A few minor chips from stones, but it looks really nice. However. It's a shed. A nice looking shed, but a shed nonetheless. The DIY bracket that the bloke made to mount the clocks looks shite. I swear he employed Geppetto as it looked suspiciously like some of the screws used to hold the fairing were wood screws. Also (I've noticed that you can see in the photo) the front mudguard is held on with cable ties, FFS. The mirrors are too small to be of any real use and the worst part is that the foot rests are far too back to be comfortable on trips around town. Oh, and the gear change lever and brake are made of screw rods with umpteen bolts wound on. BUT the engine sounded perfect and I couldn't hear anything amiss. Saying all of that, if it wasn't for the foot rests being so far back, I'd probably have bought it [1]. I suppose I could still pick it up, but I don't have the space to work on it, to fix/change the faults I picked out above. The asking price was shy of 2000 UKP. [1] The Gixxer thou [2] that my friends boyfriend had, was so much more comfortable to sit on. [2] Luckily, I've still got my plan which I'm working on.
