Great pics mate, feel a bit jealous of your blingy Viffer, mine is just plain old silver.

Would like to see how the Renntec fits dude.

This to, mine's an MRA.

Worth it. Get a NWS hugger, best one IMHO

You need to get the matching topbox for that Quiff, at least Mands would have a backrest for when she fell asleep from the boredom of Vifferdom :p

Identical to the one I had on loan, would have one for long trips away (like my Aberdeen Marathon at the weekend) but would need something else for fun local weekends I think.

Excellent bike, but for all the Candy Red (which I think my SV is going to find itself wearing something VERY similar to) its a bit beige.

Found myself eyeing up a GTR1400 at the Grampian Bike Show tho...

me too Mike goin to have a look in a wee while - will e mail ya some pics. looks neat. it just utilises the grab rail holes.. but unsure if the grab rails can stay on.. maybe longer bolts required.looks a solid bit of kit andwill easily hold my tent n sleep bags in a Kriega dry bag bungee on all neat and then frees up the panniers for hair product !

Soul..

she fell asleep on it on the way back from Brighton..

the red aint me first choice.. or the bike.. for that matter but :

1. it was too good a price with no miles on it.
2 it IS perfect for the biking I do now with Mandy ..

so me have to compromise a bit , but its fun and its growing on me I just dont want to admit I like it I think

My interest is the grab handles, but also how it interfaces with the luggage stays. You can fit it then come over to the Farmers Arms tomoz to show me! :D

You can listen to my Staintunes to convince you further!

I REALLY liked the colour.

I could see myself getting on it and just going for miles and miles - and T loved the pillion sofa, erm seat.

Its a great bike, LP is probably happy there is another Viffer to take the flack I throw, but TBH I would not be over unhappy if for some reason I had to have one.

Great bike in so many ways - especially when Anna can hold it and Bear balanced upright on it to try the seating position.

And as you say, for the riding you do, soo much the perfect bike.

I am hoping I am finally getting across to you that I think its a plus rather than a minus, depite my stirring it up :)

Hmmm i'm jealous with the miles i do the SV is quite uncomfy for me, i wanna be old and slow with hair straightners? (All quotes i've seen either about quiff or buy him). So i can ride a Viffer or Sprint.... Not fair too much comfort!

Great colour, red ones are always faster. If I trade in my Sv I'd go for a Viffer, maybe an earlier pre VETEC one, but I've always wanted a Viffer
