Can't vouch for them on track but I had them on my 200 on the road and they were pretty good.

My brother in laws old 172 cup's brakes used to rust up like mad, as mentioned above the rears are hardly used and usually looked like they'd been raised from the titanic. He actually found the standard Renault ones even worse than the Brembo. It's just something you'll have to come to terms with.

Nice purchase Good cars

If you can find any paperwork for it, try and keep the bike as original as possible I imagine the original colour is the same as mine which is a sparkly red anyway.

76-77 for sure chaps and not the original paint I would suggest hence the missing ignition emblem. Lovely old things with bags of character. Clutch that feels like you're compressing granite, brakes that are more for display purposes only and an electric start that to this day I have never...

Not to hijack the thread chaps but I've done a fair amount of work on these old bikes and currently have a 67 bonny as well as the Commando and Panigale If anyone needs any advice or help with these old bikes feel free to ask. Happy to help where I can. @Pat 182 also plays with old British bikes..

I agree with this entirely ! It does look like it needs some work though! But it'd be worth it because in its current condition it won't be worth a huge amount. Old British bikes are gaining in value a lot.

Heart broken for you buddy Sorry for your losses !! I have an 850 commando also, if you need any advice at any point let me know. Also if you do decide to sell let me know..

Epic roads

My eyes

All I'll add to this is that when I took pzeros off of the abarth and stuck on some pilot sports it was like a different car. I found the Pirelli noisy and lacking in feel in general.

that statement is true for nearly everyone that owns a car like that lol

Agreed mate but argueably that recent one binned it in to the Armco harder. Eitherway they're all heroic efforts

I know many of the roads in that video, to be honest most of the roads in Kent and London are full of complete grade A c*nts. I get more trouble with people when I'm in the car than on my bike thankfully. Probably due to the time of day I go out. Too many idiots on the road. It's often not...

That went in hard!

70 shot of NoS

Nice mate I had a play with one that looked just like yours at the weekend ! Great fun and the driver gave the thumbs up !

Having driven many m3's on track I can vouch that they are no track car. A skilled driver can peddle anything though.

My advice, take it or leave it.. Leave it standard

Same issue as me mate I'm also 6ft3.

I guess it's okay if your 18, frequent car parks at night and call everyone Bruv and say init a lot.

I love the Pani mate. The s1000 is a fantastic bike and really flatters your riding but I just didn't fall in love with it.. It's a little clinical ?! It's great at everything and honestly as a road superbike I don't think there's a better one out there, but it didn't make me want to buy it...

Rsv4 and s1000rr were the two main bikes in my mind when I was getting a new bike last year. Ended up with a panigale but in all honesty they are all epic but very different to each other at the same time. The new r1 isn't a great road bike and feels like a very fast plank of wood to ride...

Hoop fitness you say...

Not bad My pal has that sofa

Unfortunately these little scrotum's are being bred young. Follow it up in the hope that the kid thinks twice in future.

I wouldn't buy a new one again. Now every Fiat dealer has Abarth the residuals are not fairing well at all!

Nice one mate, love a clean r1!

Always had a soft spot for those cossies Would have to be blue for me though

Not common ha ha ha They're talking sh*te. It's probably THE most common mechanical defect on the 200s. There's lots of threads on here about it which you can use to bolster your argument.
