I did something very unusual for me today

I gave a bike dealer a deposit on a brand new 09 plate bike, to be delivered on 28th Feb so I can go out and play from midnight on 1st March.

You'll all see it at AR09

What bike? You keeping the CBR for track so is this just a road bike?

New road bike to replace the SV that I sold last week (being picked up by its new owner on Sunday, all going well)

I'm keeping the CBR as my trackbike, and selling everything else because I have a classic Suzuki TS250C arriving soon. I only want 3 bikes in the stable. The TS50Xs have been sold and collected but I still have a ZX-7R and a two Yamaha SR250s to sell.

OK, give us a bit more of a clue, make? It's not a Gladius is it ;-)

Apparently you're meant to go out to the garage and polish them or something... I dunno, it's been 10 years since I last owned a new bike, and the last new one before that was 10 years prior to that one, ad infinitum.

I buy a brand new bike to celebrate roughly the 10 year anniversary of passing my bike test. This is only the 4th brand new bike I've ever owned, including the one I owned when I passed my test.

'90 GSXR750
'98 Firestorm
'09 new bike

I read that a 09 GSXR 750, not 90. Hmmm, you're not giving much away. Must be a R1 but don't want to tell because of the 'ugly' comments the bike might get ;-)

I bought one of those last year and used it twice before throwing the useless thing in the back of the shed... damn thing expects you to use your legs to make it go, how stupid is that?

You think the R1 is ugly?
