Standard it's a giggle. I mean not as much fun as riding the 'Blade, but I haven't used the bike that much this winter, so what does that tell you ?

I still love the look of it, and I will find every excuse to drive it. It still makes me grin, and my Mrs says I've reverted back to a teenager since I've had it. (I think this had something to do with a guy in a CTR at a set of lights ).

With 285 brake it pulls from 2k all the way to 6k+, the torque from thay 5 cylinder lump is pretty impressive.

Suffice to say that it's keeping me happy, and I normally get bored with cars quite quickly.

It's the Martini livery that is dated. Red or Black still looks good and they go like stink!

True. I'd have an Audi Sport Quattro over that, though!

Well you may take the Roller to the Opera, and as for the Merc, it's probablly the ulimate Mercedes. Amazing stopping distances, ceramic brakes I think... And the motor's pretty quick to.
