yep it is, not only is it that good in ther performance stakes it wins the "noise" vote as well as the "looks" - not forgetting the "look @ me" value. it wins that last one hands down although the green ninja also copped a fair amount of attention.

yep the normal one, the sp has the same engine as the stocker just the majical ohlins words on the suspenders and trick gold wheels (as well as a slight change in the frame)

I presume that's Ralph Leavesy Mose who went along. The man is a bit of a legend around instructing circles and as you've alluded to pretty damn handy.

yep.
