I was involved in this build with Practical Sportsbikes magazine back in 2011-12. I carried out the wheels and front end fitting, plus getting it to final assembly point once the motor was in. Was a lovely old bike, and i've just done a Rainey replica recently using my old drawings for reference!!!

The little pauses before key moments, either editing mistakes or intentional teasing lmao. Have an '08 650, but she's no Mk1 B12. No other bike like the bandit. Living my dream mate. Might see if I can get specifically a '97 one a some point soon. Probably have to import from Europe to Ireland tho, they're getting rare.

Hello Ratty, Although technically correct, there are no significant differences between MK 1 and MK2 so the mod is still relevant. In my experience most people consider them the same and refer to the 2001 model as the MK 2 which had a major revamp. 😎

Beautiful bike! I had the privilege of owning a Formula Extreme prepped SP (the pink one) and for years it remained the fastest bike I'd ever ridden. That's including the original Repsol blade and the 50th anniversary R1. Every part had been upgraded to the race part, Wiseco big bore 890 kit and the frame had been sprayed with truck bedliner to try and make it even stiffer. Bike was on rails and sounded like something outta Mad Max. Would power wheelie in the first 3 gears. Didn't look that pretty but holy crap that thing was a blast to ride.

Hi Gareth, Thanks for your comment. I have tried a lot of different settings on the Gopro, I can't seem find one that gives nice footage when travelling at any speed. For an action cam it's not great in any sort of action, especially if the surroundings are busy with detail like trees and hedges. I find walking in the woods filming is to much for the processor. Maybe the newer ones are better, but I wouldn't recommend the 7 Black as an action cam. Ride safe on your 12. 👍😎

BIG MISTAKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Having ridden and owned both, this bike, is far far superior in my humble opinion in both handling and most certainly in speed !!!! I know the Honda die hard's will not agree but 9 times out of 10 they ain't ridden one of these beasts !!!! They are something else if you look hard enough there is a you tube up load where one of these beat an R1 a blade and Kawasaki on the day it should not even have been there it was if I recall the sound mans bike leant up against the toilet wall "have a look and find they did it as a joke but the joke ended up being on the other bikes In fact if my memory serves me well Yamaha took the R1 back to see what the issues were Anyway thanks for the up load highliting a fantastic machine that deserves more praise than it has ever received over the years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
