Ahh the joys of an SV650 on a fast track - fun passing them in the corners though!
There was a guy on an Aprilla Mille who was considerably slower than I was, in fact during the first sighting laps, I was getting peed off with him.

There was another guy who was trying to pilot a Triumph ST Sprint round, that must have been hard work too.

Nice bike skip.
Do try and look for the offroad wheels too though.
For some
Reason dirt wheels are a lot cheaper on eBay than supermoto ones so if you did buy the bike first, make sure it's the sm version and it will cost you less in the long run.
I'm thinking of selling the daytona this year and just using the ktm.
Might (just) keep me under three figures for a while.

That one comes with the off-road wheels - I am surprised it comes with any wheels at all though as its in Ellesmere Port

Tempting - my brother-in-laws girlfriend lives in Liverpool so getting it wouldn't be a problem going to get it - only thing is riding it back to Norfolk - that's a long way to sit on a plank!

Cheers Rob very kind but I am sure I could come up with something - Marc flies, trains, drives and all sorts to go and see her so if I did go ahead I am sure it wouldn't be an issue.

Yep, still virginal, although nobody got their knee down, except for 2 guys who binned their bikes.

One on a CBR600 the other on a Thundercat.

Must learn how to position myself on the bike to do this, but I was more concerned about the other 50/12 million other things I needed to do, so I wouldn't fall off
