I bought one back in '94 to take my test on. I did a 3 day course but remember being told off by my instructor on the first day for turning up on it with a Swarbrick pipe and open airbox! I'd also made up a YPVS servo kit from RD350 stuff and a TZR250 control unit all bought from AK in Bristol.
I got told off the second day for speeding on the dual carriageway too! Well, he had told me "don't hang around once you're on it - get up to the speed of the other traffic ASAP"!! :D
I'd imagine HP of mine was only in the low 20's, but still a flier. Shame I have no pictures of it. When I sold it it was in plain Ducati yellow with gun metal wheels and a custom made yellow screen by Acerbis. Only painted in cellulose but done by a friend who is a real "old school" panel beater... the finish on the paint looked like glass - not a single swirl mark in it, and it looked as good as it went! One week later however, the spotty 17 year-old who bought it had crashed it, wiped out the Swarbrick, and painted the whole thing matte black!!
