Don't you dare sell the SP2. Those ol twins have so much character. Very cool bike
Thanks mate, no it's not for sale, I was gently taking the piss. I have thought about trading it in a few times but I have no desire to now. The problem is it's currently suffering a bit from only doing maybe three or four hundred km in the last ten years, I'm in the process of tidying up a few things at the moment to hopefully get out and use it again.

SP-2's were a good thing in their day (2002), but like I said above now it's about 60hp short and 30kg too fat. Given the power it's got is more than I'm capable of using especially on the road, I can only imagine how insane your Beemer or any of the other current 1000cc super sport bikes must be to ride.
