  1. Brought a bit of a dog as a project..... before http://s1121.photobucket.com/albums/l506/StuartWags/ did all the work myself, work needed:- Exhaust = rotted disk pads = stuffed all round fork seals = well leaking tyres = knackered rear suspension linkage = making bad noises body panels = various cracks, scrapes, been droped on LHS with bits broken off screen and generally neglected charging system = dead overall = very run down it is amazing how this bike was transformed in such a short period of time brought as spares or repair A month later back on the road and very pretty it looks too... still does what it should do and went off the clock prone Cost of bits around £360, including service big smile on face with this project http://s1121.photobucket.com/albums/l506/StuartWags/FZR%20back%20on%20the%20road/

    May be it has been derestricted as it went by the 180 kmh mark and the proceeded off mph clock at 130. It started to slow down the speed growth around 136 when still sitting upright. I doubt the it a 77hp / 110 kmh set up, but it does the job for me. How do i post a picture?

    Just got a very standard 1FM import. What is the spec for this engine? My intention is to keep it standard as i expect un modified bikes of this age are now becoming rare in the UK. Are they becoming collectable in the standard condition?
