When I get my hands on it Eddie. I certainly will. Hopefully mid Feb it should be in my garage
I know the owner commissironed P&M to build him a comfortable bike with their race frame that could be used on road and track .
i was pretty much sold at that point

Try building it for the price you paid. Lot of money but it is a nice bike and the work is already done.
Let us know how it goes when it arrives in your garage.

i believe it cost around 30K in 2013 when it was built. and now would cost north of 35K so feel i have a bit of niche bike at a bargain price. the resale market may not be too good but i will cross that bridge when i have to

There’s more than the asking price just in the engine, ign and carbs I’d say.

That looks like a superb piece of kit. Can't wait to hear all about it.

A week to late then but then I need another triple like a hole in the head.

I'm also in Cumbria, & it started snowing at lunch time where I am. Thankfully it stopped, but good luck for the weekend!

got the bike delivered today and i have to say i am delighted with it. fired up on the starter no problem and ticks over like a swiss watch. not managed a run out yet. the quality of the build is impeccable and the bike feels really light.
it is quite cramped on the knees so i need to carry on with my flexions to gain some more bend in the knee
cant wait to get out for a test run
