  4. Thanks both. I'm fancying a 748r, either red or yellow. But has to be 2001 or 2002 with Ohlins.

  6. Ignore the previous post, red is definitely more aerodynamic

  15. Hello and I wouldn't waste your time with Ohlins. Unless you want to do smooth track and have a good spine. Also a 2 seater biposto can easily be made to look like an SP/ SPS/R so be wary.

  17. Ok, so I bought a 748r after all, 2000 with around 11k on it.

    Booked into Louigi Moto for the 22nd of July for a service as it’s been standing a while so with any luck I’ll be on the road with it soon.
