People of this forum work at your place? or was it a typo?

No mate, other way 'round.

They read, snipe and bitch, but don't have the nuts to join in, place an opinion or confront me directly about anything I say on here.

I know who they are,

Nice

Yep. Not an RS though, that's just a photo that I nicked until I get mine and a few shots of it.

You've prompted me to go look at triple cyl alternatives to triumph tonight (I had no idea) and I found the new MV F3

edit: The benelli's go for a fairly affordable price for the age...and 900CC...off to read more

Get a new XC Ed, i loved the look of the 1050 tiger, just didnt feel quite right when riding it, as said i didnt connect with it.

The f3 is sex on wheels, but too pricey for me at present. I bet it will be cramped to ride too.

Good write up & good luck with the new bike.
I bought a 955i Daytona & absolutely hate it. It has done nothing other than be unreliable. It broke down after about the 1st 20 miles. The engine management light came on that often I thought it was the indicator. I parked it up for 2 weeks, in my shop because the weather was bad, came back to it, started it up, engine light came on & it hasn't run properly since. It is off to the dealer on Saturday for it's post mortem.
He has an SV1000 in, so i may ask him if we could come to some sort of deal.

I gave as much advice as I could of the bikes flaws, but its still a bike that just makes you smile so much when riding it.

Fast bikes magazine have had a Tornado on long term test.
One of the writers raves about it, the others say that it feels it's age, which, against all of the other stuff they have, it will.
