Read like a fun couple of hours. I took out a couple of Triumphs out a while back and remember getting back on the SV and thinking you know this thing is still nice, not as much grunt but was pleasant to get back on again. The bikes were the older Daytona and the ST.

Round 2

Got myself booked in another go on a CB1300, a VTR1000 (honda big twin) and just for a laugh a blade.

Anyone been involved in VTRs before?

And would I be being a bit of a girl (sorry ladies) if I let the colour of a bike put me off? I've seen a low mileage VTR at a sensible price but it's a dodgy greeny blue colour. Will clash with pretty much everything I own.

IMO if your bike is a toy then if is quite acceptable to be v fussy about colour etc, what's the point in having a toy that isn't pleasing to look at? It would upset me to have stuff that clashed but maybe that's just me.

I think if the bike is in good nick etc. but has an off colour you have to think A. I can get this cheaper because of the colour and B. how hard will it be to sell on. Much like those people who buy pink cars and the like.

But if its just because it doesnt match your biking attire its your choice. I have a yellow and black gsxr with blue and white leather jacket but its your money and if your not happy now with it then you probably never will be.

Re: What should my next bike be?

if you don't like the colour it's going to bug you as long as you've got the bike and you'll not like it as much as you would if it was the colour you want

so if thats the bike youwant then hold out for the colour you want
