Nice mate, what year is it? I had a 2001 model, but binned it!

Cheers fellaz,

Its an (03) 53 on 5k, FSH, 1 owner etc etc....
I have had a few scary moments on it but im just taking it steady for now while i try & master the bike.
Its a whole other kind of adreniline rush compared to any of my scoobys or my mates Evo. Got a good few miles under my belt while the weather has been half decent, (before the rain came this week!!!)

I love it

Good lad, just be careful of the front going light and getting a tank slapper - got one nearly every time I rung it's ******* neck!!! top bikes though, handle mint and sound so ******* good at red line! Is that a standard can on it? I quite like the stubby ones on the newer models, wonder if they fit the older versions!?!?

WRX333

Yeah they sound amazing at anything above 10k don't they.
Ive accidentally had the front wheel up quite high on a couple of occasions Yeah it a standard can mate, been thinkin of a stubby, but might go for the steering damper first. What do you think?

classic Subaru Si

yep, steering damper is a must on these, common problem. It does take a bit of the feel away though, doesn't turn in as nice with one on! As for a can, I got mine brand new, and had a can fitted on it before it even left the showroom! What did you pay, if you dont mind me asking? Really after another at the minute!!

Was up for £3600 at a dealers to start with, end up knocking off £400 & throwing in 12 MOT & 3 months warranty, which i think was'nt a bad deal really, may have been because we're going out of season now.

classic Subaru Si

sounds like a good deal, deffo the best time to buy bikes with the crap weather setting in - good luck, and enjoy mate!!

Cheers mate Will do.

Know exactly what your sayin Nat21, I try to be a sensible as possible & although it very tempting (especially seeing other accomplished riders on a sunday morning) im taking it one step at a time. Think im gonna book a couple of beginners track days soon (weather permiting).

Cheers

a steering damper should not take any feel away if set up correctly .
