XJR REVISITED

 

I bought this XJR1300SP in 2002 (did I really own a 2 yr old bike ?) lightly bent after a brush with a wagon. I straightened it out, modded it a bit, rode it for about a year then sold it to a guy in Northumberland. Last week I spotted it on eBay, he'd done 800 miles then sat it in his office since 2006, time for repatriation. With the Akra' system, Dynajet kit and filters it is quite quick for a lardy thing. I like it, I may even keep it for a bit...........but you know where I am if you fancy it !

BACK TO THE FUTURE

Haven't had a modern big bike since i sold the Tuono back end of last year and was going to just stick with my Triumphs but i gave in and bought this 1300SP. Just jumped forward 50 years in a couple of days and it is noticeable... heated grips, a rack, mirrors, silencers, indicators even lights, what will they think of next ?
I have spent the last 2 months finding, altering and working on a bike to hopefully get me to mid France next week, this thing was half the price and would probably take me round the world.
