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.

Now we can take the piss out you being under the thumb, right?

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.

Although I'd arguably do s session on an 848 as I loved the old one

You need a nice little 250 Desmo, like this, but requiring some work...

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

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".

oh, I don't know, not sure if I'll like it or hate it

So currently we're a no. I don't mind buying bikes on a whim, but she has to be in it with me if we're going for it.

You do remember the last time you swapped "her" bike without telling her dont you

Mmmmm,

You made 500 quid and a Missus very unhappy

I wondered how long it would be till an RC8 would be posted ........ iirc she hates the look of them

Saw a RC8 at a petrol station the other day, looked and sounded awesome.

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.
