My next bike

[Yorick]

It's a Suzuki, you need to be bolting Yoshimura tat to it.

Weight gain. Lose.

[Yorick]

you're paying for a name / image

Just like pretty much every premium branded product ever made.

True, but a bit much when it costs twice what it would without a Yoshimura badge.

Can you ever see Weeksy in a Lidl Shell suit? Honestly ?

[Dodgy69]

the R&G look better than the Evotech, which isn't something i say very often i must admit.

Only concern with these type is do they transfer more force to the frame? I know they are designed not too but worry you save the cases/tank and write the frame off. Although that much force would knacker the bike anyway I guess.

Current priority list for stuff at the moment is, in order.
Crash protectors
Top box
Screen
Heated grips
Rad guard

Have some money kicking about from bdays/xmas/selling stuff so think I can cover the first service, the Aero crash bungs and top box rails.

I'd move crash protection and top box to the bottom and put rad gaurd, grips and screen top. Oh, and don't forget Paddock bobs and tail tidy.

Nah top box is def happening as then if I go to work on it or away that's carrying stuff covered. Plus even handy sometimes just for stuff like spare gloves as the day warms up.

Paddock stand bobbins are already on it which is handy

Tail tidy I can't be bothered with. As per the top box looks aren't too high on my list, I prefer practicality over aesthetics.. he says after buying a fairly impractical bike

Rad guard is a very good shout though.

[Dodgy69]

I imagine the box can easily be removed so just leaving the rack on ain't too bad.

Think my box has been on once, very useful on a full day out but not very photogenic. I like a little tank bag for essentials.

[Supermofo]

Insurance sorted, thought £215 wasn't bad. Only £100 up on the 690.

Sent a small payment to confirm transfer details then need to send the balance over which is always scary paying someone you've never met before £4800 but they won't do CC over the phone. They'd take the £100 deposit on the CC but not the full amount.

Bike should be arriving on Fri. Getting properly excited now Looks like the weather will still be pants so guessing I'll spend Fri Arvo sitting on it in the garage making brum brum noises.

LOL you still not bloody got this yet ?

When's first trackday?

[Supermofo]

No they said they had a 3 week wait for the workshop which I managed to get moved forward a little but not a lot. My understanding is the bike hadn't even been PDI'd so it's brand new in effect.

That's a piss take. Busy in summer maybe. February? Nah.

[Supermofo]

Snetterton are showing No limits track evenings in May/June. But on the No Limits site they have no dates after April at the moment. A track evening in June could well be on the cards.

Who knows, although at the end of the day I'm unlikely to ride it for another month yet so not too bothered. Having said that most time's I've phone the sales guy is on another call or doing a handover so they seem fairly busy. The sales guy has actually called back every time though so that's a good start!

Lots more

Fook that. I booked a track day on the 1st April once and was actually a bit relieved when the company (EasyTrack) went under as there was bloody snow everywhere.
