Say what !!!! You've bought a Gen3 1290 ? Man that thing was epic/scary. I rode it the day after riding your MT10, as you recall i adored the MT10, but the 1290SDR left me somewhat blown away when i rode it.

thoughts/chats like this remind me of why i loved bikes for so long... Obviously they've been replaced in my world with MTBs, but if i had an unlimited space/budget/time i could easily see something like one of these 2 things in there.

The one currently(?) for sale on PB made me think hmmmm , shall I but nah, I haven't, and am not going to so it'll just be the green one with me at Pembrey this time ( unless Kev comes, I still wouldn't rule it out, whatever he says currently )- sorry!

It was just a little experimenet to test your current potential level of interest in riding a motorbike

P.S. That was a Gen2 we rode that day at Premier when I had my first MT - the only one I'd consider is the Gen3- (current model) one

Well, it isn't a 1290 but last night I bought another bike and will be bringing it to Pembrey along with the ZX6 so @weeksy , you might want to bring your leathers as I am 99.9% sure that you'll never have sat on one of these before and you WILL want to ride this one

Tricky wrote: Tue Aug 08, 2023 8:47 am I've bought it unseen but am really excited about this one and pretty sure you would be too, although not sure it's the sort of bike you'd ever buy - I'm in Lanzarote ATM, not back home until early Thursday morning but will be jumping in the van on Thursday and driving down to pick it up, so Pembrey will be the first time I'll ride it ( that's assuming we get at least one dry session- if it pisses down then it'll stay in the van and it'll just be the green bike that gets used) - all will be revealed Friday!

Oh dear, I've not even looked.


However, I've slept most of the last 6 weekends in a tent in the rain, so it'd just be a bloody normal weekend for me. But with less muddy clothing

Is that after your night in the hotel on Friday

Ah man, after all these weekends in a tent you've got to give me 1 night in a hotel without abuse... i've earned it

All joking aside, if the forecast looks the same on the day I might be spending Friday under a hard roof somewhere as well
