    Hi friends, I'm new to this forum, but not new to forums or motorcycles or loving anything and everything vehicle related.

    I'm in a selling phase right now - I'm here to post a 1979 Bonneville project bike I'm not going to get to. I also sold a 2021 MV Agusta earlier this summer... but still have my original baby, a 2002 Honda RC51 or SP2 as you call it across the pond.

    I've ridden and enjoyed my dad's Speed Triple (2010'ish?)... but that's about it for Triumphs.

    Huge Moto GP fan (and MM93)

    Thanks!

    Okay, sure! I don't appear to have a good recent pic of the RC51, may have to remedy that.

    @dukelukas Well that is one nice MV. Interested in the stabilisers could stop me dropping my Bonnie and keep smashing mirrors. That T140 is a nice machine and worth a little extra love.
