She's all good, she's said now and i've moved on from it... the ZX6 is still here and going nowhere again for another 12 months till i give her another option.

Lol kinda but nah. If it were for me, it'd be in the garage by now but I do have to consider her as I ain't riding it.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 4:30 pm Now we can take the piss out you being under the thumb, right?

Ha! When I started biking,those little bollox were new in my local bike shop. The guy selling them said,"don't buy one if you need to be anywhere regularly".KungFooBob wrote: ↑Tue May 26, 2020 10:20 pm
You need a nice little 250 Desmo, like this, but requiring some work...

I'd buy shares in Autosol if you got something classic.

Re: Debating a bit of a change, Ducati 848 content
Since clicking on the bike ebay links in this thread,eBay is now trying to sell me an RC8 and an old 70s Ducati....
I do quite like the origami look of the RC8,though I hear the throttle response was an on/off switch.

That's why I buy GSXRs. Work 100% out of the box.
I refuse to have any bike with 'character'. That means it's shit and you've got to fart about getting engine and fuelling right.
