cool, i tested a few of those. Lovely to ride. cracking suspension and jesus christ there fast without noticing it.

unfortunatly it just didnt "do it" for me. I really hope it works out for you because it was a nice bike and ticked every one appart from the heart :(

Yes had it about 3 weeks & done about 1000 miles on it.

Really nice bike, feels so good, perfect handling. smooth ride.

just trying to get used to the change from the twin. slight delay on power unlike the SV but overall really nice bike.

was going into by the R6 but wasnt willing to pay £380 for years insurance so will get the R6 next year.

CBR jumped out at me & love it.

Aye, I've seen you whizz past me in traffic a few times on the SV, usually just before the airport roundabout. Ah, the joys of a car driver :/

We had a run on the Slug in Aaron's people carrier, that was fun :D.

Don't go on the Netherly either, way too much grit for proper fun.

Don't worry, I use my mirrors ;)
I took the bike out the previous weekend, took it pretty easy - first time out (not commuting) and said grit. Good to hear it's cleared up now.

After commuting for 3 years non stop on the bike I basically needed a break and got a car (I know, I know).
Plus the Falco isn't the best of bikes in town, although it did fine yesterday after I've changed the front sprocket :)
