    Plastics definitely need some work, but overall they are in a lot better condition than I remember. Left to do is fit new indicators, fit new exhaust and rebuild front calliper. Then I'm pretty sure it'll be okay to get through an MOT!

    Totted up all the receipts I have for the bike and it came to just over £1200 including original cost of the bike... Wasn't surprised, but if I had of known it was going to need that much spending on it, I would have considered just selling it for parts tbh!

    Another video of it running with the full stock exhaust system on it now.

        It's looking grand pal. Well worth the time and money. 1200 is cheap for what it is. You should get your money back for sure. And the experience is priceless

          Has been years since it was ridden on the road but I took it on it's first outing today! Didn't go too well as I completely forgot that it doesn't have a low fuel light, and left it on reserve!

              Yeah it's a very smooth ride. Going to test it out on the motorway before I decide whether or not to keep it for commuting. Lucky I only had to walk it about half a mile!

                  Doesn't sound like fun Biker_123! I was all too happy to push it home after seeing it was out of fuel as when it first cut out I was thinking the worst..

                      @MIGHTYMAN Very nice.

                      Has he had much work done to that RS. Those years can be so restrictive. Some of them didn't even come with a RAVE. They actually just have the Valve in the closed position. Which would be like riding with the YPVS turned off in the closed position.

                      Anyway you know my opinion of those engines. Can be savage in the right hands. But don't last very long if not maintained.

                      I am glad you are out on your TDR though mate. Hats off to you!

                        He says it's the "factory full power" version and it has a full Arrow but he's not happy with the bottom end of the rev range so it sounds like it might be pinned open if anything. Don't think it's had anything else done to it though.

                            @MIGHTYMAN Cool vid bud, just one thing though, you should leave the annotations up on the screen for longer. As they flash up so quick you can't read them fast enough and have to keep pausing and rewinding the video, which decreases the enjoyment whilst watching it!!! 😉
