I got this one on flea bay as I've hadta get a new van Solid bike and then some, always draws a crowd, proper one off.Probably the best looking all rounder I've ever owned but unfortunately it can't carry a pallet of bricks and a tonne of sand. Foccers get a good discount and a carbon can chucked in...
Mr Nogster ,,this is MADE for you !!!!!DetailstriketrikeSupposedly amazing on Welsh roads at your speeds

Quote from: mickvp on 22 March 2014, 02:02:14 pmhonda VTR1000? or the VFR1200?Nice suggestions Mick....always liked those SP1 & SP2's but they a little small...perhaps a VFR 750 would be nice but maybe not radical enough of a change.....a very nice vfr got flogged on here last year or the year before...i was salivating......but o wouldnt want the vtec version....i liked my vtec car...but too much top end for my requirements.
Can't recommend a sorted fz1 enough nogster. Been out on mine all afternoon, only went out to pick up some lacquer and wet and dry and ended up doing 130 miles, despite the cold. They don't fetch a lot second hand, and I guess there not particularly fashionable falling in a bit of a no mans land between all the latest super nakeds and the more sensible gen 1, but bugger it's a good bike. When one had to go to pay for me van, I just couldn't bear to lose the yam, hence the cb1300 is on e bay. So light and nimble, (and like you I'm heavy), and so much fun whatever your doing or wherever your going.
