It's 'only' the v-twin, you need the V4 if you want to pretend to be Doohan.

Doohan is too manly to drink fucking Vimto

They are beautiful, and smaller than an RGV.

For some reason the one of the things I remember about the NSR V-Twin was that Ian Lougher had one to ride at Oliver's Mount, 20 odd years ago.

I'm sure I went to the meeting, but I can't remember if he was on the NSR or not, I've a feeling that if he was he didn't clean up like expected, but then an NSR is a hell of a thing to get round Oliver's Mount.

That's AI generated.

By an AI that doesn't know how motorcycles work.

Or where they should be parked.

They're apparently actually quite good.

A guy who parks where I do has one. He sold his GS to get it and absolutely loves it. I checked out a few YT reviews and they seem to have gone down much better than anyone expected?

Different.

The lights make it look like Mo Mowlam.

Bars must have been loose in the clamps when it impacted.

It was being ridden like that, I don't think the bent forks were recent

T'was an attempt at humour. I'd noted that the control clusters had been moved around

[Ian]

I seriously wonder if it's possible to turn right without the mudguard fouling the gear lever

[Kenyun]

Yes.... use counter steering!!!!!!!! but really, what sort of shape do you have to be to ride that in the first place?

[Ian]

Two broken wrists probably

[Horse]

Two broken wrists probably

Unless he stood up, two squashed nuts as well

Many years ago I owned a Suzuki T500 that ended up with forks almost as bent as those after I had a little accident. I rode it like that for a couple of months until I could afford to get it fixed. It didn't seem to adversely affect the handling

I did the same with my first bike,a Suzuki Hustler. During the UWC strike in the 70s there was hardly any traffic because the petrol stations were closed,yet I still managed to run into the back of the only car for miles. I rode the bike with bent forks for months,because I was skint.Eventually an adult took pity on me and had them rolled for free.
