Not a strange text at all, just that he's bought himself a new bike, sold his Fazer, ridden the new one for a while and realised that it isn't as good as he thought it would be. I did exactly the same thing about 40 years ago. My first road bike was a 250 Ducati but as soon as I passed my test, I had to get something bigger (as if you still rode a 250 nobody believed you'd passed your test, they thought you'd just ditched your L plates). I got myself a Triumph T100SS. For the first couple of days it was kid with a new toy time then I realised it may have been marginally faster than the Duke but it didn't handle or stop anything like as well and was, to be quite honest, boring to ride. I never did get the 450 Duke that I should have gone for instead.....
