Hey Mick that car was amazing....bought with 9k just stopping using oil, nicely run in.......sold to a young bloke that couldn't get insurance til his next birthday with 75k miles on it with the only issues being the bonded windscreen becoming unbonded through thrashing apparently although i doubt that theory...plus a stone split a caliper piston seal...that was it...totally faultless & a dream to drive & own......i even drove it to Inverness for him just to get one last drive.
I'll look into the VTR....perhaps there is a wide bar conversion & it could be a cheap compromise option with good quality....i dont like superbike bars...im scared of tank wobblers...i need more leverage...i liken it to those powerball strength training things...get the frequency wrong & your focced & no ammount of movement will get you out of it...i know it is chance speed, frequency, undulations related but na no thanks i at least want the thought that i have more chance of not having one.
Street triple r is the most obvious answer i think though....but i like being the outsider so maybe the obvious answer....i'd love to say i got a BMWf800 & took on the triumph.....but that is often my downfall....if it looks good, feels good, sounds good..then i should buy good, not almost good just to prove a point & i am learning that....fazer was also an obvious choice & i havent regretted that.
& those KTM things...well what can i say...they'll sure be performers...but there's something about them that says to me they could just snap in half at any moment...totally unfounded of course but i cant quite put my finger on it.
Still want loads of feedback on the Tuono too
Right im back off to youtube whilst my missus is having a powernap[size=0.7em].[/size]

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
