It's relentless :smt090.. Anyway got a new camera for my birthday last week so took a couple of piccies for you all!! :) If you look close enough you can see Hovis waving from Wales :smt006

Just Googled the Yoshi R55 . I`m made up for ya man , that`s gonna be some droolworthy kit . Now you will need one of those speaking alarms in the voice of the ED209 from Robocop that says "Please step Away from the Vehicle , you have 10 seconds to comply" , followed by machine gun fire if the Chavs ignore it for that long :D

I have a soft spot for white wheels.

This one was my first bike, in the process of having a fairing fitted to it. Never looked as good after that, but I did remove the rather tasty pink graphics from the bike

Try to clean it after each ride but havent since i been out on it.. naughty i know.. The wheels are the best fun to keep clean apart from that it doesn't do bad..

Your bike is a stunner mate. Has it made you a better biker or does it force you to go quicker? I'm afraid that if I go to a full on sportbike it'll turn me into an evil person.

I'd say it's made me a better rider, i'm not sure that i ride quicker, perhaps a little but nothing manic. It's down to self restraint, holding back and saving it for the track. Not that i've done a track day yet, not on my bike anyway :shock:..

It loves the twisties just as much as the SV did, i'm finding i ride alot smoother because of the lack of engine braking at low revs. It is suprising how much engine braking it does have from the higher revs though, from what people say and what i've read i was expecting none at all, but it's ********, it's very usuable what it has unlike the V-Twin which feels like you've dropped your anchor!!

I'm loving it and am not missing the SV as good as it was..

Glad you're happy and still have kept your head in place. I haven't ridden a 600 yet, rode both a 400 and a thou but not a six. I'm sure that your six is the most enjoyable as it could be ridden without the need to rev it hard to get a decent move on like a four but doesn't take you for a ride like the gixxer thou does. Happy for you mate, hope some nice weather comes by this weekend so you could take it for a memorable ride.
