looks like a tl 1000 s with a few suble cosmetics.

as to wether it is faster than a scooby, it all depends what scooby,what situation!

sorry to be boring

Whether or not the scooby would be faster round the bends/islands would depend on who's riding the bike, but once you get around that bend the bike is gonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnne !

Got to say that even me as a novice was 1.30 / 1.35 in PTMW! (1st track day, SO2s & no suspension mods)

Rainbird is around the 1.23 mark & R500 S/light was 1.18

Bike looks gorgeous tho'

Not trying to make you look sloww here m8 but those times are a bit slow.
You should be doin better times than that round Snett.
And I do agree that my bike would **** cars round any track.
Still only my view. :

"And I do agree that my bike would **** cars round any track".

from my experience a proper track/road car like a westfield/ catherham etc will normally be a smidge quicker than a quick road/track bike like an r1 if the rider driver are of similar standard.
ie. i`ll do snett. in 1.17ish and i know superlight rs get round nearer 1.10s without much bother.

obviously scoobs are a bit big and slow- IN COMPARISSON to bikes and track cars
