Commuting can be fun. Do they have to be FBW.
That'll be the blipper bit then.

Re: Recommend me a bike?
I'll not bother with a QS really, but that one combined with the akra sounded lovely. I'll probably stick an exhaust of some description on at some point, but the prices of used Akras is crazy!

Re: Recommend me a bike?
That's not a ride report!
Does it really have a plate colour matched to the wheels?

Lol, no I'll start a new thread in the other forum and yes it does have an orange back plate! Also had the intake vents colour coordinated!

Sea End Caravan Park looks a right shit hole, imagine the disappointment of you turned up there for a holiday.
It's bloody cold here, so well done on picking it up.

Re: Recommend me a bike?
I like the MT-07, it looks light and nimble and fun... until someone bolts a load of bulky looking tat on.
I like a tasteful mod or two, but there's nothing tasteful about the orange intake mesh, the belly pan, seat cowl and WTF is going on with that orange backed plate.
Don't get me started on that pipe cover.
I'd have bought it, then sold all that tat and spent the proceeds on drugs and hookers or something.

Re: Recommend me a bike?
Don't mind the seat cowl and belly pan, just needs black wheels. Very nice though.
