And they thought it was better than both the MV and the Ducati (but we all knew that anyway). Very Happy

just read the article at work last night. Bit misleading I thought, as the magazine cover states "£5000 exotica" yet we all know the J&S (non-standard colour scheme) SB6 has a ticket price of nearly £7000.......... Wink

J&S Colour - J&S are the garage selling the bike it's not a special colourscheme but it has been sprayed (by a previous owner) yellow with a black stripe going into the carbon bit on the fairing.

On balance ... it's a possative article about an SB6, but they made a mistake and printed SB6R. The problem with is that is the R version is heavily revised from the 6 so you have to take a view of whether the figures are measured from the 6 or found from stats for the 6R.
They quote some figures from an Achropavic system .... trouble is Achropavic don't make one, so it's probably from a Gix 1100W.

The bike is representative of a £5k bike, private sale. We know £7k is overpriced for this particular SB6.

I think it's easy to get caught up in the details and not see the overall article. They like it as a road bike and also one that can yeald good results if your prepared to mod it.

Thanks for the info`.Not worth going out and buying black and yellow paint then.

On the subject of paint,{sorry to steal a thread},I`ve got a big tin of Army Camo` paint.Says on the tin,IRR.Seems that stands for,
Infa Red Reflective. I`ve also got spare set of body work,..can you see where this is going? Cool . Don`t think the IRR will be any good against speed cameras but WTF Very Happy

It`s only a coat of paint.

Always worth a try although I don't think speed camera's work with IR but you might be safe against some of the old aircraft targeting systems and night vision Laughing

Infa Red is heat detection so shirley it will just lower the heat radiation.
