Default Update

Hello guys, just a quick update. I am gettin my bike ready for a quick sprint over the water, a trip to the south of France in september. Decided to give it the once over and book it in to have the carbs balanced and dyno tuned. Was really happy with the results.
22 year old bike and still returning 108 BHP and a top speed on the rolling road of 174 MPH.
