Quite agree

I really think u bought the wrong bike nick. 

[Hedgetrimmer]

No, definitely got the right bike - one I could actually afford! Wouldn't swap it for anything else. Nothing wrong with wanting an aircraft hangar full of bikes tho!

That MV looks like a Ducati just got fed into crusher!!

I guess I have to bow to the expert on knowing what crushed bikes look like.....

Cruel and funny in equal measures 


I quite liked the 3 cans when they first appeared, but think they look a little naff now, espcially with the tin box underneath. Give me a straight 3-1 exhaust any day. The rest of the bike looks neat.

Fuel tank capacity 12,9l
WTF is it with manufacturers these days.

When I were't 'lad, I worked at a dealer for Hesketh (D & A Rayner m/cs), the original 1000. I think we sold about 2....
Not really surprising as a beautiful bright orange Jota sat alongside was £3k new, the Hesketh, £5k!

[Hedgetrimmer]

What bike have you got then?
Me-a? I hav-a Agoosta Rrrrrivalay. Italiano, a' cours-a!
 
Even the name sounds cool!

Well of course! But I still think it looks nice!
