( you are milking this one though matey- you could at least give us a glimpse of the akky-kakky exhaust that's coming, or maybe the new bike's most unpleasant areas or something like you did with that last scoot to keep us going! )

Trouble is, this thread is more exciting than the bike and there's no way out of it now!

Akratailpipes for my car!

I have something similar on the auld NTV. Surprisingly good for 30quid delivered. And actually better than some supposedly far superior and costly ones. I don't need a tailpipe that lasts a decade anyway.

SV650 nekkid! Got to be as it was one of your favourites.

I'll have 50p each way on an MT-07.

Are we there yet?

Yes, its time for a NBT (new bike thread) and the big reveal! Actually i might just do it in here. Firstly, my thanks must go to Luigi Moto for service which was above and beyond! Damn. I've said too much!

Panigale!

(or maybe a Scrambler).

Or another boat anchor - remember they do HD as well. (and Buell).

Guzzi, V7 flavour?

Lol, i'm just seeing a man about a Beetle and then i'll bung some pics up. Like a I said, i'm just messing about with the Luigi Moto thing, its nowt but a humble commuter from Craigs Honda.

I know a bloke works for Craigs, but I think he's only in the KTM branch at Dewsbury.

Right, I sold the BMW as the Scooter is perfect from my commuting needs. Trouble is, having a bike there is one thing, having no bike there is another. I always miss a bike when I don't have one! But I know for commuting in London's traffic I prefer an automatic, hence the regular scoot ownership thing. So a bit of a no brainer to go back to an auto/DCT bike really and meet both my needs.

I had a N750X a couple of years back, but it was when I was waiting on a replacement knee and it put my knackered knee in exactly the wrong position, so it had to go. I also found it very under powered. Some time later I bought a manual NC700X which had way more grunt than my 750 ever did and led me to conclude the 750 was probably A2 restricted?

Having thought about it for 2-3 minutes, I couldn't shake the idea of owning another DCT, so I had a quick look on eBay and found Craigs Honda had one with a good few extras such as heated grips, spotlights, bigger screen, centre stand, heated grips, TUTORO chain oiler etc. Great service history but with 38k miles. These low revving engines do spaceship mileages and you cant load a auto engine either, so the mileage wasnt a issue for me and it brought it down to great price! So another one of my hasty decision was made on the spot and I rang them straight away and bought it!

Pipe and slippers.....

Nice.

Why do people fit those hideous extra lights to motorcycles?
