Bought myself a carb model, low mileage in blue. I know I have missed summer but good winter project to get ready for next year. NE Scotland

Yeh you are right there has been no summer up in Aberdeen, started off on an FZR 400R for 2 yrs, GSXR600 for 1 yr, R6 for 1yr till engine packed up, R6 for 5yrs, R1 for 8yrs then I sold it last year due to a nagging wife. this year I hunted for ages for a tidy carb model and am back on the road,
