Haha, yeah, but then I've owner many bikes, so pretty hard to find something I haven't tried already, might give the Shiver & dorito another go a sit's been a couple of years since I test rode them,shame more of the middle weights don't have decent bouncy bits.

Hey I very rarely ask anything anyway, just thought you lot might come up with something left field I'd not considered.

Jota! Are you ****ing serious?

A Jota isn't a motorcycle - it's an 80hp barge.

Have you seen the shiver gt? Its just a shiver with a proper screen. The dd has the better suspension, but a smaller tank 90 - 100 miles, I get about 120 miles out of my shiver.
