I bought a x1 replica at auction a few weeks ago and have been going through it and servicing everything as it’s stood in a collection for five years. It was built by kainzinger in Germany and bored to 1400cc with lightened and balanced crank, pankl ti rods, cosworth pistons, yoshimura cams, ported heads, full ti yoshimura system, Ohlins forks and shock, nissin wsb brakes and masters , marchesini magnesium rims, gsxr1000 swingarm and numerous other bits, I’ve had a new cordona qs fitted and bsd dyno’d it and set the fuelling up, 198bhp and 108 ft/lbs of torque, very happy with it.

I like the engineering that has gone into it, looks good. Is it difficult to insure it on the roads in UK given all the modifications?
It won’t be used a lot but it’s already being used, it’s took me 30 years to get my workshop and I absolutely love it, I originally had a single prefab concrete garage for nearly 20 years then a porta cabin for 10 years and this is luxury for me. The bikes been easy to insure, I’ve got a rider policy with Carole nash and it’s covered me for all my modded bikes.
