Just bought Rods' Blackbird off him - it's one of the very last carb'd bikes in black (ie the fastest model in the fastest colour). My word it nips along a bit...tad flat below 4k but nail the b*stard and above 7k it goes 'wooosh'. I then think 'gosh'.

Pics to follow this avo when I've finished today's bonding* session with it.



*This consists of getting to know it via some AutoGlym products and a few polishing cloths and Pro-prep etc etc.

Very shiney!

That rear must be very square for it to stand up without a stand, I think you should have a word..

I can just hear your neighbours, from behind their curtains.............

"He's cleaning another bike, Mildred. Christ - he's got the feckin' camera out again!"

Is there a bike model available in the UK during the last ten years that hasn't been photographed in front of those garage doors?

Well it's fairly nippy I have to admit.

So much nicer than a VFR800. But you know the worst thing about it? That poxy, stupid one-button indicator switch; it's crap. Wearing winter gloves makes it even worse.

Had one of those before the R1100S. Great bike but with nothing below 4,000 (as you found out) the temptation is to ring its neck and then find a nice man in a blue uniform wanting to look at your licence (for a year).

Bought the R1100S to keep my sanity and never regretted it.

Is there a rat bike section so I can unembarassingly post photos of my bikes

I think we should have an MZ-only section

Get the bloody thing dynojetted and filter etc, makes a hefty difference to the pick up

Envious mate, very envious, sell it to me when you're done with it ;o)

I,ve also joined the darkside along with richard.Well blue side if i,m to be perfectly honest.Soon will be black though.Laser cans and i think a dyno jet kit.Will check when i service it.Blimey richard,yours does look shiny and new!You aint wrong when you get to the other side of 7000 rpm.I thought the clutch was slipping on the way home.Turned out that the rear was struggling for traction on the shitty roads.
Will post some photos when i,ve blinged it up abit.

You watch your licence there sonny
Oh....and lookout for cyclists
I still would prefer to see the new S over the Bluetird.

Oh i,ve had a clean license for a good few years now,about time i christened it!
The black turd would flatten a cyclist if he was to cross my path,no doubt about that!
Project beast is still in progress and will be revealed as and when.But in the meantime........................................................Light speed captain...................................aye aye sir..................................
Will get out and about on the turd when i,ve completed a service and checked it over good and proper.
