My nc project thats in the forsale section would be perfect for you if you decide to buy it back

1000 EXUPS are shite... money pit and weak motors..

I had one, it died. I might be biased.

Glad you are OK (ish)

Get well soon dude..

Cheers, I'll have a look, I'm not sure what I want to do with it, but may well throw in the back of the shed and sort it when I feel up to it.

My step mum's ex had one, and he really liked it, but I'm going to have a very serious look before I buy anything, all opinions are welcome, is there anything I'll have to watch out for going wrong? Been advised to fit blue spots and better discs for a start, and that the clutches aren't great.

Thanks mate, I'm waiting on an appointment date for an MRI scan, as the doctor said he's worried about nerve damage. Will see how it goes, just hoping they settle up for my gear and bike very soon, as much as I like the Bandit (58 plate, FI, digi speedo, hazard lights and a clock!) I want my own bike again, I want to be able to modify it so I can have it how I like.

Yeah, take the time needed to check your health and true condition from top to toe! Everything that comes up now will be better to understand for the future. Otherwise, missing data at his moment can be harsh when moving with the unknown and uncertain inconveniences later. My current contractor is one of world biggest healthcare producers....and MRI scanners is my current scope...on field of Supply Chain Management.
If you have a MRI scan soon, check the brand/type and let me know. Might be out of the hands of our project team

Hiya, got an MRI due on the 6th, will be trying to find out what's causing the numbness in my leg and foot (also missing a couple of reactions in the left foot) so will keep an eye out for what it is and let you know :D

No other progress, except what I'm doing personally, the other side basically hasn't done anything yet, no forms been returned or anything, feel like I'm the one at fault, seeing as I'm the one running around like a headless chicken pandering to their every request, appointment etc, yet nothing is being done to progress things where it matters, I.E getting my bike replied.

Small update, matey has been offered a driver improvement course, 1 day and £165 and he gets away with no points, no further fine, nothing. The word I used rhymed with water shunt

Also had a valuation on the bike £1225 - salvage leaving me with £1072, absolute joke. Sent 3 bikes all over £1700, and told them I want £1450 and the bike, which is still less than the lowest bikes value.

When I saw their engineers report, I saw that it was for the other sides insurance, on behalf of their client, the bloody company whose van it was, so it looks like it won't even affect his insurance either, while mine nearly doubles due to having an accident, regardless of whether it was my fault or not

[BillingCBR]

Not heard anything back yet, told them to hurry up, as the hire bike is over £100 a week, and I'll have had it 7 or 8 weeks this thursday!

Had a word with my solicitor, as it's his business insurance, he won't have to declare he's had a claim on his private insurance (something to do with it being a general business policy with no named drivers, they can't prove or disprove he has been in a smash)

My premiums are set to skyrocket, from £320 FC up to over £500 for having an unsettled claim, even though I'm not at fault, my current insurers won't even quote me!

I've decided that as soon as the bike is paid out for I'll rebuild it, I don't know what I'll keep, bin or swap out, but I'm thinking of repairing the Suzuka nosecone, RO seat unit, getting a full Tyga system and then doing general repairs. I might even just throw on my spare panels (reverse SEED colours) swingarm and rear wheel and fit a different half system (might nick the Sansei off the project bike for now)

MRI results still not in, and my back is just as bad, still clicks and crunches, and am still numb in my left leg :)

My mum offered me a loan to get a new bike seeing as we're now going to court as the other driver won't reply to any of his solicitors letter ended up with this, little bit bigger and faster than the old VFR lol

Mate that's a very tidy looking early R1.

A lot of Yam road bikes have a Brembo rear M/C fitted as oem items.
