I tried a fire blade front end on mine but wanted t keep the comstar wheels as they were in mint condition and I liked the look of em. Obv. Spokes are the one but your into some serious dough then, I’ve slowed up on the XJ, gonna get it ready for the Manx gp 2019.

Still yet to get there, never seem to have money when the ferry tickets are released.

Quite fancy another Benelli to be honest with you, have yet to ride something so intuitive and responsive.

I know how you feel I thought the same with my blade.... until i threw a leg over the Daytona. If they do a 765 I’m probably in trouble and may have to sell a kidney

I remember looking at Ian’s Daytona, sure Bradders had one too- lovely looking machines, they remind me of Ducati 848’s

I seen one of them a while ago when i was looking to convert that CA95
Into a 2WD electric bike.

Makes a lot more sense that little engine whilst batteries are still so expensive.

Not fancy this; Image
