My 1R, we were at Stafford, I have 13grand in my bag not mine coz my daft mate didn't take a bag there's the one on SCC £13950 he's looking I said i'd lend him the 950 to make up the total, he ummed & ahhed. Half two it's time to go, just sat chillin in van before the drive home, he says I've been outbid on a Z1R oh me phones out of charge, here use mine, he says i'll just stick hundred quid on it, making it £6850.
Sunday night my phone goes kerching, it 9 0'clock, I says to our lass what're won, she says nothing, but is playing some sort of game on ipad, so has a look, bloody hell have you bought another bike? I said its Andy's sure enough my mate rings me, we arrange to collect it the following week on the Saturday 6 hours down to mid devon, then he didn't want it, our lass rings me to make sure we're there ok, so I walked out of earshot and explained, she said you can afford it bring it home, Yippee, and that's how I got a nice Z1R

That’s partly what made me think it was a Marving.
That and the way it looks like a Marving.

I just whipped it off, stuck it up in workshop. had a look today so sorry it is a marving just didn't look right on this shape bike but there you go I'm a 80's GPz pilot and the Harris exhaust was popular Pipers were bloody loud, Alfa's slightly better. lasers mean, today it's great. Delkevic Stainless 5 year warranty look good and no collets yippee
