Amazing what you can find when out and about, two eastern block fighters as a backdrop to my new acquisition

Ooh! Good choice, Mike. That looks mint. Makes me feel nostalgic for my old S2R. Where did you find such a nice example? Was it from a UKMOC member?

Thanks Vince......purely by chance ! Google - eBay/DoC website - ,very nice guy from Bristol, DOC member. I am the fourth owner,11k miles......

Ah! I can see a motorbike in the picture of the aeroplanes now!..

I don't think you alluded to the S2R being yours when you posted those?

That's very nice, and the big one too. I can see the extra spark plug cap.

You'll go far with that, I'm definitely more a fan of the old shape Monsters.

, did you think my new acquisition was the wooden pallet !!

Thanks mate, I am really pleased, over time I think there will be a few mods !!

It looks like a very nice example.does that, really nice and original condition too. I thought it was the 1000 as the dry clutch gave it away but marks for Gazza spotting the DS motor plugs. Those are becoming hard to find now; there is a silver one on ebay 17K for £4K which I thought was a lot for one.

It's still a very nice example of a future classic but that may depend on what mods you have in mind? I think it looks very nice as it is would be a shame to chop it up and it's much nicer than the one going for 4k on ebay.

Yep, I like that a lot, Mike.
It even has the nice, simple, single-can exhaust that I favour.
Looks great in black and silver too.
I could imagine owning that myself .. despite the single sided swinger.

Thanks Darren, dont worry there will be no chopping going on mate !,

only enhancements, by that I mean, carbon chain guard,carbon tail( there are signs of cracking in the plastic), remove the oxford heated grips, carbon front mudguard and cosmetically get the wheels re-powder coated/painted. Close inspection reveals a hefty chain was used as security at some stage in its life, I think polishing wont restore the shine !

cheers Jeff, not sure about the exhaust, I know you are going to hate me for this but I quite like the XBox that Stevedesmo had on his S4 !!, like the open look it gives .........still thats a way off yet,for now I will enjoy the sound of the Remus !!
