Your B1

Lord Danoir the first · February 19, 2016, 12:49:06 PM

Just reading that Carbon has a B1 he's 'spent a fortune' which I'd love to see, and I know it was a popular bike among us Ninjas back in the day, so I'd love to see other people's B1's and find out what you did to them (if anything).

So, I'll start off with mine, which Dicko and I shared as a track bike and Dicko built from brand spanking.

From what I can remember, we had a full acky race system, Ohlins rear shock, K Tech forks, Ohlins damper, race harness, HD engine covers and a few other bits and pieces like rear sets and levers etc. The engine was stock though but it handled beautifully.

Eventually sold to Emma (NG) for a song.

So...... let's see yours.

There must be something in that.

Grumpy will hopefully be along soon to post some pictures of his. Rhino had one also, as did Coop. I may be wrong but I think the B1 was the only modern motorcycle not to be one of Alzo's "keepers".

not particularly trick, i think bertie had some work done on the shock to soften it
my contribution was a really loud stubby scorpion can

If I knew how to put photos up on here I would. Second B1 after the 1st one was written off.
I had the 2nd B1 delivered to my house before it was registered. Frame, swing arm, sub-frame sent off to be powdercoated black. Full Akky system, carbon can. Power commander. Forks sent to Maxton to work their magic. Maxton shock. Braided hoses front and rear. Ohlins steering damper with Harris fitting kit. Harris carbon fibre heel plates. Harris carbon fibre exhaust hanger. Double bubble screen. (Can't remember what make, maybe Puig) Single seat cowl. Decals removed from fairing.

Photos on my FB page. If anyone can help.

Now we need Wizzbang, Wallace and NinjaGirl to wade in with some pics! And they are the ones I can definitely remember having B1's!

Had a lovely green one just like Grumpys...probably posted my best time at Knockhill on it...Niall Mackenzie race school...I had just joined here and traded it in for a Black C6F 636...trying to find the picture I posted on Facebook.

Jarse · February 19, 2016, 05:46:00 PM

The black C is the first I remember.

Alzo · February 19, 2016, 05:52:49 PM

So long ago...I should have kept it.
