and the SB6 at last weekends Stoneleigh Classic show

stunning Piers Dowell paintwork

and by the end of the show, it had given birth.............. Very Happy

and hopefully they will be on our stand at Uttoxeter

This one belongs to Gregor, a friend of mine.
He bought it new, used it for a while and then was struck down by a very unfortunate disability.
He spends most of his time modifying bikes now.
The SB6 has a modified, blueprinted engine that has never been started Shocked

and in reality, there is very little SB6 left in standard form. Even the frame has been altered.
Very nice piece of engineering that unfortunately will never be ridden unless he sells it which has nearly happened a couple of times

Looks like a tart's handbag though.

I'm with you chuck ... admire the work but struggle with the look. Reminds me how odd the early fireblade's looked when they had the single sided swinger conversion. 10 out of 10 for effort though!

I'm not against modding, I don't keep my bikes standard and I can see a lot of work has gone into it ... but it's not really tasteful

I conceed the paint is a thousand times better than mine .... I just don't like the colour or design.

I met Gregor at the show. Indeed beautifully built. I'd hesitate to say it would look better in a plain colour. At the moment the paintwork draws the eye away from all the hi spec components. It's nice for sure!
