http://www.oople.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.gifI realise it's probably down a little on power to the Aprilia but be careful driving enthusiasticly (can't say race, it's against the law on a public road!) Subaru's & Evo's, I tried it with my Suzuki SV1000S on a B road and try as I might I couldn't shake an Impreza off my tail.
I don't know which version of the Turbo it was (54 plated) and although I'd pull away from it on the straight sections they carry so much more corner speed. Now it may just be that I ride like a girl but speeds varied between 60 & 120 mph so we weren't exactly hanging around.:D

http://www.oople.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.gifYamaha RD500LC - someone after my own heart, well almost, I had a Suzuki RG500 and loved it. If they made a new version with modern suspension & wheels I'd have to get one, absolutely mental. Rev counter started at 3 000rpm, bugger all below 7 000 rpm, but hit 7 500 and it was like lighting the blue touch paper on a firework:thumbsup:

http://www.oople.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.gifI never had a problem mechanically with my RG, platinum plugs and Silkolene synthetic oil never missed a beat even in rush hour traffic. Petrol was a different matter though, sub 20mpg was nothing unusual but worth every penny!:D

Don't remember MacGyver driving a manta :confused:

Ok my list..

Vauxhall corsa 1.2 (Rolled it :thumbsup:)
Ford Escort TD
Citroen Saxo VTR
Mazda MX6
Escort Si
Mondeo ST220
Volkswagen Bora 1.9 TDI (115)

20mpg and synthetic oil makes it pretty expensive to run!!!!

Then wait until your gearbox decides to exit through your crankcases and deposits bits of gears throughout the rest of your engine.:o thousands of pounds to repair nowadays.

It will happen one day if you use the bike whether you have the upgraded gearbox or not.

That said, best bike I have ever ridden to put a smile on your face when you hit the powerband.:thumbsup:

:cry:I nearly cried the first day I got it, one of the genuine Pepsi bikes delivered to my driveway by the dealer and within an hour I managed to catch the handlebars pulling it forward and you've guessed it. Sidestand popped up and over she went, delaer couldn't believe it when I phoned up and ordered a new left centre panel and belly pan.

I have to agree with your last sentence, hue grin factor that you never got bored of. Fortunately never had a problem with the gearbox, must have been lucky.:D

done a bit of research and here's the same style bike badged as a RennStar Scitsu

doubt it's my old machine but the water pump cover looks familiar

http://www.oople.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.gifThat looks good, KR or Steve Baker paint job would make it look really nice, Astralite wheels hey, I haven't seen a set of those in a while last set I saw were on a Hesketh Vampire!http://www.oople.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.gif
