What bikes do you have in your garage?

[nick crisp]

Seems to me that yam and the dealers have pulled a right blinder here by lowering the price at the shop and then adding it back on at the service two weeks later.
As for recalls I dont like buying new stuff as soon as it comes out as there always seems to be recalls or "bugs" that only get found out once thousands of units are out there basically being tested by early adopters.

Unfortunately, waiting for bugs to be ironed out can take rather a long time. Remember the recall on thousands of GSXRs not so long back, to do with the brakes? Some of those bikes had been on the road for years. But on balance, I think the manufacturers (Jap ones anyway) do very extensive testing before new models are released and catch most of any problems that might have arisen before release. Bound to be the odd thing that slips through, just the nature of these things. It wouldn't stop me buying new if that's what I wanted, unless I'd heard something really horrendous.

Very jealous of all you guys getting new bikes - no, doesn't mean I want rid of the  :faz - just makes me want something to keep it company in the garage. It'll happen soon (I keep promising myself  :rolleyes ). Well, probably not brand new, but hopefully something nice and fun.
