my 916...

 

 

I still have an original 998S Bayliss in China, which I can't bring to Taiwan.
Every couple of weeks I decide that she is going up for sale, always followed within some days with an excuse to reverse the decision.
Today it is your pictures which give me some extra weeks ...
Stunning bike, even after 20 years!

 

Looks like we are going to have an Aussie British Superbike champ this year, Josh Brookes has ridden the wheels of his R1 the boy done good.

 

Well done Josh! he's wrapped it up today with two races to go tomorrow.

 

I remember watching that kid back in early 2000's working his way through 125gp(au championship), 250 prodies (RGV etc) then suprstock,supersport and ASBK.
He even has a couple of bikes in the National Motor Racing museum at Bathurst.

 

 

 

 

So, this is my last bike. I did a lot of work to it and it was a lot of fun to ride. Definately one of the fastest 600cc-s in my country, all the drag races and track days it was keeping up with the 1000cc bikes easily






It's sold now, but I am looking for an older gen Hayabusa (so I could paint it black and have it match my Jag)

 

Sorry, can't open images.

 

Sorry, cant seem to edit my original post, so I'll post new ones

Anyone need a Brough?

Figured this thread could use a bump.
In the classic vein (as is my wont), here's a variation on the Vincent Rapide.
