Personally i think the little 250sp and gk73a 400sp are they best looking bikes ever 1 Quote Link to comment
zedhead Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I see this in your future... Riding through the town centre at 16,500 rpm on an open pipe yet still only doing 25mph... 3 Quote Link to comment

I think its going to struggle to drag my fat arse around at any decent pace, but if at least I will look cool going slowly. 1 Quote Link to comment
banoffee Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Cool. Had a 400 SP2 years ago and loved it. Once I’d pulled away of course. Many revs, much clutch. Quote Link to comment

MeanBean49 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Had a bit of a propper look at it today, really happy, gave the carbs a quick clean and it fired up. Sounds ace. Just needs a good going over, service and fresh tyres etc and I will be buzzing round 4 Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I like the seat unit. Is it the same as on any of the 400s? I wonder if aftermarket race jobs with no pillion bit are available anywhere Quote Link to comment
bluedog59 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) It's certainly better looking than your choice in cars. Very nice bike and loads off fun. Are you keeping it "as is" or going to tinker ? Edited March 6, 2019 by bluedog59 Quote Link to comment

Unreal they went to such lengths to make them instead of just putting 250 motor in a 400 Quote Link to comment

Gammaboy Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Are you going to take the pillion subframe off to lighten it up a little? Quote Link to comment
