Hello to you all,new member just saying hello and posting a pic of my pride and joy;
She's a 2003 v11 sport scura,number 311,i'm the second owner from last May when i took her on a trip to the Pyrenees and she excelled at all the hairpin bends and mountain roads,much to the surprise of my sportsbike riding pals!!
I have some high level cabon race cans fitted,fantastic sound,BMC air filter and dropped the forks through the yolks for quicker steering and some HEL braided hoses on the front brakes,one finger stopping now!May fit a Power Commander if fueling needs it.
Back to the Pyrenees this june for more fun.I have had big jap sportsbikes all my life and last year fancied a change,wanted a bike that made me ride it to get the joy back so i felt i had achieved something after a ride,not just faster,faster all the time.I had always liked the cafe racer look of the v11 and i have fallen for the Scura big time,this is a long term love affair!
I also have a VFR750 for everyday duties(tricked up too) but the Scura is the one that gets the heart racing,at the moment i am after a tail tidy/fender eliminator but can't find one here in the U.K
Here's some pic's i took today after pulling her out of the garage to warm her up as she is tucked away during winter to protect from all the salt.
This is a great site and i enjoy all the banter and pic's
kind regards,Mat
