Gawd (y)- who would buy that?

[barbagris]

Then it could get crazy in the long term, as I also have:

• A stock head and valves to have worked on locally
• A Barnett Clutch kit
• A set of stock cams to be re-ground and suitable specs
• New cam chain, guides and crank-end gear
• APE adjustable cams gears
• A complete engine gasket kit
• 10.5:1 forged pistons
• Nev's manual cam tensioner
• Dynojet POD-300, PCV and AT200 with Ignition Module if required.

Sir needs Mr Lush.

Sounds like a plan there, mate. Good buying too.

Parts selection is actually quite good.

If it were mine, I think I’d beat it up, make it look super ratty, deliberately rust a few things, dent a few things, break a few things, then build the motor.

Make it into a modern rat-Rod and appreciate the fact everyone will underestimate it.

EXACTLY what I was thinking, except the part about building the motor. A true rat bike in every sense. It's got the basics.

If so inspired I suggest trying your approach on your own Rockets!

Oh I did - I put chrome bits back on yesterday. I'm brave, me!
I wish I could justify a second R3 (or more likely - something else) to me, Pete - but I simply cannot. Not unless I mothball the Guzzi.
It's the time and effort more than the money.

Yeah haven't ridden the Sprint or Beemer for gulp years now!

I ride all my bikes once a week - With two exceptions. SNOW and ICE.
When I had the Buell as well it felt as if it was a chore and I always seemed to have one bike in bits (sometimes I think it was to avoid using one).
