Welcome SB; not much traffic on here these days, but still plenty of stuff to look at.
I've had mine since 2002, so guess it must be a keeper.
1000SP rig sounds interesting.
Check out our Facebook group too, if you're that way inclined

My NF 500 is a very early Carabinieri example. At this stage it's red, has lost its legshields (they're in the shed) and has gained a BSA Gold Star exhaust.
The 1000SP is a handful at the moment. Some work is required before I take it out again. I think I might have a rotten wheel bearing in the back. I'm not happy with the handlebars either - I think Eldorado or NF500 ones would be the biz. I think I'd also like to try a seat like the NF 500s.

Facebook is something I've heard of but have never felt inclined to use.

Ah yes; Facebook. It's not for everyone...  ;D

My friend has a 1000SP decked out without the fairings and with an LM1 nose cone. It's been to Mandello and various other European trips. Nice bike.
