Post a pic of your bike

Quick one for ye lads. I'm in the process of making my bike roadworthy again and I'm putting the fairings back on - I've noticed the back end is slightly off. I used it as a track bike for a short while and I did have an off but it was minor. I'm assuming the subframe took a knock and that's why the rear is off. Can I ride away on it? I rode it after the drop and there was no noticeable issues. It's just annoying me now that I've seen it!

If that was me, I wouldn't be riding it without knowing exactly what's bent and how badly bent. Without knowing that you don't know if there's welds broken or something else gone wrong that could be unsafe!

That aside, I wouldn't be putting it back on the road until that was fixed as it would bug the hell out of me!

A couple of little things.

Throttle position sensor was a bit out and they had a battery with 130CCA in it.

Pissing against the wind.

I put one of my batteries with 230CCA in it and made a couple of adjustments, held the throttle fully opened and boom, flames shot out the back and it fired up.

It needs new tyres,fork seals, upgraded battery cables and a 150a starter solenoid.

But it needs a serious tidying which would take up too much of my time.

Ideally, it would want to be stripped and gone through thoroughly.

I've enough things to keep me busy without that as well.

What kind of bike is it? Be worth pricing a few second hand ones, even a new one from CMS?

Can probably see it a bit better there without the tail unit. The right side needs to come up a little bit to even it up

downsizing 😀

First dibs on your 954!

Nice spin to Cahir today.

What would you offer me to prise it off me?😀

nicked from ylyl.

Just looking at my blade in the garage and thinking how well these 954's have aged.

Looks better now than when they came out.

When they came out they were overshadowed by the R1 and Gsxr1000.

Purely my opinion but if I had the 3 bikes lined up today, I think the 954 is the far better looking bike.

Definitely, has aged far better than the other 2 IMO.

My MT10SP was robbed back in March and recovered after about 2 hours, but it took the insurer three months to decide to write it off economically, and fulfill the claim. Got reimbursed last night, and picked up this beasty this afternoon. I had a Tracer before the MT10, so it feels like putting on a pair of comfortable slippers. Definitely doesn't have the crazy DNA of the MT10, but what it lacks in crazy, it makes up for in comfort (yeah, I died a little bit inside, writing that sentence 🤣). This bike was an ex-demo with 850km on the clock and got a great deal, but it's going to take a little bit of time to figure out if it's my forever bike. Was planning on replacing it with a Teneré, but realistically, I'm not going to be hitting the desert sands in Morocco any time soon, so….

I like: CP3 engine, seating position, cruise control, quick-shifter, semi-active suspension (haven't had a real cause to use it, but liked it on the mt10), side cases, centre stand, tank range (so much better than the mt10 which guzzled the juice).

I dislike: single headlight in daytime running lights (why Yamaha, why?), split-screen LCD display with tiny fonts (it's a bit shite), menu scroll wheel and millions of buttons, looks - nicer than the mt10, but only just about.

It's just sooo good to have a bike to ride again. I also bought a Hiplok DX1000, cos those thieving fookers have partially ruined biking for me. Scrotes..

Lovely machine, had a test ride of an 18 model last week and I think it will be my next bike after I sell the gsxr.

Oh I like the look of it. Would never buy a white bike myself 😆

Lovely RS250 for sale.

Pity it's the UK though.

Its a beauty.
