Quite like the thought of not riding in the rain.

Always liked faired bikes...the look of them etc..........but cant deny that i feel more in control without one....plus if i ever lose control the damage is usually less. :rolleyes
Z800 i'd like to try...apparently real smoothe but back to inline 4....but possibly more soul than the CB1000R.but so thin on the ground for bike shops down here....i'll be up in scotland come June & within firing distance of lots if different dealers in the central belt so i'll prob do my test rides then...i'll take my old man so he can give his opinion on things i might miss.
Something I'm not a 100% sure about is the couple reviews about the MT09 rear shock not being the best......so i start off a thread basically because i want better handling & do t want to waste money.....is it then a bit silly to buy a bike that could do with an upgraded shock.....but then i have got by on a 13 year old budget fazer shock so i suspect that the shock that isnt 100% to bike testers could in fact be brilliant to me.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
