......I priced up some of the 1125 engine components today.......

Crank = 1500 quid
Con rods = 200 quid each
Small black outer cover for the clutch case = 153 quid :shock:
Replacement engine = 6,500 quid :lol:

......should've bought another brand new 5K bike for spares :idea:

Don't worry, Maz, with prices as low as they have been, a lot of silly people who don't know better will be hopping on the 1125's and wrecking them in no time.... leaving plenty of spare parts around :twisted:

Maz - meant to ask. How did your stripdown of the 1125 go? How does it compare to the XB in build quality?
