Hi guys,

That's nice......always fancied an XBR but one of those would be even better!

They are very rare because they were never officially imported to the UK, the majority were sold in Germany Australia/NZ and the USA.
This one started life in California USA, so it came with loads of engine strangling anti pollution stuff fitted. It was a nightmare removing all this and the finding the correct parts and technical info to make it breath freely.
Do not confuse these with the XBR, they are a completely different bike and very few parts are interchangable. Although the engine looks the same the internals are very different and even the Chassis is not the same.

But there is another one that is for sale on Ebay, and is located in Belfast.

Love it. I could easy make a place for one in the garage, i bet its a hoot to ride.

I have not had the pleasure of riding it to date, I want to make a few more cosmetic changes before I take her on the road. With the Exhaust System that I had Custom made in the USA by a renowned GB 500 specialist/enthusiast, she sounds absolutely awsome.

See video link, Same guy who made my exhaust, Jack Batson.

I thought I had put a post up - with a pic of that bike.......... before?

Spotted a pic in a magaizine several months ago - and thought "that is just right

"

Just the right blend of retro and modern.

Lovely. I really must scratch the old school single itch at some point.

That's looking great. Really nice colour scheme too, what does the pipe sound like, I,m hearing a crobba crobba with a nice gurgle on the overrun.
