Same old story - 'Wish I'd kept it'. Hindsight aye!

Was is MCN Streetbike Street Bike series? Then the mind drifts to him on first gear drive cam VFR750 as a stocker in the wet in at the Transatlantic series. What a performance against full on Superbikes of the time.

There is also a real one for sale on that site.... price is a little higher though at £15k.

...and a Minichamps toy one for £184! Didn't Tamiya make one in the 80's? - I'm sure there is one in my old catalogue..
