Fazer is for short hops and hooligan mode, Busa is for long distance and hooligan mode, B-King is for drag racing and hooligan mode.....
Has that Busa pic been Photoshopped?

Yeah it is really a blue Busa and he was so embarrassed about the colour he had the pic shopped, and quite right to. But if he wanted real cred he should have gone silver :lol

Bought the Daytona a year or so back and the Beemer this summer. The Fazer’s not on the road at the moment unfortunately
[size=1em]Love the look of the Daytona 955, sharp looking sporty bike, not so keep on the horizontally opposed cabbage patch though, much to costly if you throw it up the road. :eek Person opinion of course. it's the Daytona that would float my boat . :lol great looking machine[/size]

But Tommy... It's blue. Don't you have a pathological loathing of blue bikes?

How do you get on with the tilting clutch mechanism Rob.What a pain that used to be in order to get it adjusted properly. I had a Venom in 1965/66.Started off all nice and standard,even had the god awful fibreglass engine shroud.Needless to say that went when the clip ons,rear sets,swept back pipe and Goldie silencer were added along with the hump backed race seat. I had swapped it for a Lambretta Li 150 Series 2 and ended up getting £100 when traded in for a 1962 Mini Cooper which was £275. Happy days.
PS.In 1961 a Venom Clubman became the first motorbike of any capacity to average 100mph for 24 hours,which was no mean feat back then.
Whizz kid sitting pretty on his two wheeled stallion.
The infamous clutch that can both drag & slip at the same time! The secret is to never use the adjuster on the cable.
It's an easy starting MAC and I'm usually a mile or so down the road before the Venoms & Vipers can get going.
