Hello all, quick intro of my 1198SP: That was ahead of a trip to Portimao, a track where you have to use 6th gear! https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10212172420016959
Potted history:bought new in 2011, used for daily commute, IoM TT trips and the odd trackday until 2015. ran a big end and lunched the crank in 2015. Rebuilt by Louigi Moto, using R crank and rods in early 2016. Trackdays and a poor effort at racing in 2017. Visited Bike Sport developments in late 2017, came away with MXL2 dash, bespoke loom and microtec ecu and empty pockets. Did a few trackdays this year, probably going to go back to road spec as I can't get to the level of tuning I really want without frequent refreshes, so last hurrah at Portimao. Best road bike engine ever, brilliant road bike, too wheelie prone to race with my skill set!
Hi, that looks like a nice little trackbike! Did you know that the Clash did a song of the same title? Spooky.
ended up back in road trim, so if anyone needs track stuff(lightweight subframe, dash and loom, fairings and an aluminium tank with 20 litre capacity) or wheels as in the picture, get in touch via PM). Will put some photos of parts in the for sale section at some point.
