Silverstone Auctions are selling a bike supposedly built for a magazine in 1987.

Has anyone ridden any of the last run bikes with these pipes on?

I think you will find this is a one off bike and the exhaust is unique to this bike. The bike was a magazine prize.  The second owner lived very close to me and had an early Silk 700s on which he did a lot of miles.  I was told about the engine modifications mentioned after big end failures and cylinder head problems.  It also has a water pump to circulate the engine coolant. We parked up next to each other at the Upton bike show a couple of times.
