About 7,000, I am officially the second owner - the real second owner never transferred title.

Needs head studs replaced - two broken one on each cylinder - otherwise it is near perfect

Thanks for the heads-up on the screws

Here's a pic: For some reason I get two images posting the pic from Flicker -

Desmosedici - it's the new Paso (except the bodywork doesn't fit as well)

That is effing HOT

the issue with the wheels is the material in the rim is softer than the screws.  the screws can work loose just enough that the carrier is pushing against the hole and then the rim-side hole gets oval.

solution is to remove the screws one by one, add blue loctite and retorque.

The corbin seat upgrade is nice.  I have a DP seat pad which is literally thick foam and nothing else, but it weighs about 0.001 oz.

Those Marvics are just awesome

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I had a red '92 model, but the wheels needed replacement which was a shame.
It was a beautiful bike, unfortunately I had to sell it. Fortunately I sold it to one of my mates and not a stranger, so I can still ride and work on it.

I'm planning to replace the heavy wheels on my new ride with these.
Should I go with gold or dish out the extra bucks for polished?

how did they handle the VIN numbers?
The replacement frame has the same VIN as the original cracked frame.  The new VIN is stamped at the factory.
I have two frames, one white (cracked) and one gold (new), with the same VIN # as proof.  The new frame was then traded for the cracked frame at your local dealer. In my case, the dealer that ordered the new frame went bang before the frames were switched.

Tongue That tail section looks like it has a flat screen TV glued to it.
The bike was built as a tribute to this 24 hour Bol d'Or F1 racer. Note the number plate on seat:



This is the tribute bike (96 900SS)
