Nice dude! Not keen on the go!!!!!! stickers though!

 

[telford_mike]

Looks great Si. Bright, but bright is good

 

[TheCake]

Hehe cheers guys. Livery is in Valentino Rossi 2004 graphics he had on his R1 World Super Bike. As the striker is running a Yamaha R1 it all kind of works, yellow and blue etc.

 

[Nick_R182]

Bit of a change from the type R!

 

[TheCake]

Just a tad. lol.

 

[D"w!Z]

[TheCake]

How many flies have you swallowed so far?

[Turkish]

Day, he spits anyway :dapprove:

If i see any xr3's up on bricks i know why

 

[Bubbles]

Gooooooorgeous! love it

 

[edde]

Fuel gauage? Don't you just have to stop at every petrol station?

Looks nice those wheels and paint worse are different to say the least.

Take the stickers off and save the weight.

How much have you been using it? Must be interesting on the daily comute.

 

[kully]

I was just going to make that comment - i see its still riding on the xr3i dog legs
It looks cracking apart from those wheels- maybe some multi spokes on it would finish it off ?

 

[ChrisE]

Very Nice Si...!!

What is the engine in it?

 

[Turkish]

100cc out of an aprillia

 

[rory182]

1000cc Yamaha R1 lump innit, which can generate 200+ brake in racing bikes but is abour 150brake standard?

 

[Alan]

Spot on that mate.....love it!!

 

[JJ!]

Change those XR3i wheels NOW!! yucky yuck yuck!

Otherwise.. spot on!

 

[Englebert]

With a bit of tidying up it will look ace.

 

[Christopher]

looks spot on Si.

 

[paul_h172]

[Dansta]

[Timmay]

what a beast.......so how quick is this thing then?

 

[$torm Rider]

That looks like so much fun to drive. I want one.

 

[bradfincham]

Did you buy it from Mel and Martin as a new kit?

 

[Iain C]

its like 1 of these but without the tracks

 

[Tyson-182]

Can't see the pics?

Tyson.

 

[TheCake]

Brad - no it was assembled by a private individual but the kit was purchased from Mel originally. Its chassis number 4.

Just read some of the comments I must have missed. Yup lots of new bits to do. Needs the cash injection that the previous guy might not have had as it was built to a low budget.

How quick is it? Ridiculasly quick. 0-60 is sub 4 and it touches 130+ without too much hassle at all. Stonking is the only way to summarise!

Damn fat fingers.

 

[Graham Gooch]

LOL look out deux cheveuxs there something that can go sub 40 to 60 around hehehe

 

[Ricardinho]

how much are they may i ask?

 

[aaronc]

I want one! (Si did you get my PM?)

 

[TheCake]

Rich - you can spend anything from £5,000 to £20,000.

Aaron - yup (reply coming was at work all day)

 

[Ricardinho]

how much was yours,

like your thinking, rather than getting 1 fast car, getting a normal car and a VERY fast car

might look into that

 

[TheCake]

Well Rich - simple maths..

How often did I take my Civic Type R out for a hard run in the rain? Never.
How often did I take my Cup 172 out for a hard run in the rain? Never.

Do I want to take a nice car to Sainsburys to do the shopping? No.
Do I want to take a nice car to work? Not really.
Do I want to get to work quickly? f**k off!

So I have a nice relaxing slow car to get to work, which costs f**k all to run and insure. Genius.

When its nice, I'll take the Striker. If I'm doing a trackday or sprint, I'll tow the Striker on my Brian James trailer.

Job done.

As for the price - don't be so cheeky!
