If your gonna make a change, make it a big one !!!

Just fancied going somewhere totally different this time. Since i test rode the Indian Scout earlier this year and just enjoyed the feeling of cruising along, not a care in the world, that set this course. |Didn't think this time, but this little beauty has only 1200 miles on the clock and is like new.

First time for a while, I am actually looking out of the window wishing the roads to dry out, so i can go out to play. I lost that feeling for the gixxer, and was actually putting more miles on my KTM 250 EXC.

That's what's it's all about.

I test rode a Bonne a few years ago and although it was slow and wobbled a bit round corners, I was very surprised just how much I enjoyed it, great fun.

They are slow and cornering is bizarre compared to hanging over the front of an SV or Gixxer, but where a gixxer is all about that front end and corners, this is all about sitting back and enjoying the world around.

Looking nice Ron! That's the widest front tyre I've even seen on a motorbike.

Very shiny, if you're about to start doing loads of miles on it at this time of year, have a look at these guys

It takes me half a day of lying on the garage floor to properly clean and ACF50 the Tiger, and it's messy, so £65 to have someone do it for you is a bit of a no brainer for me.

Nice. I really like them.

Crikey! Its a pretty thing but a total surprise! I still want photo evidence of you sat on it holding the v5 in your name

I am due a shot of my friends Harley at some point, so I might get to experience this cruising thing and see what it's all about!

Highly recommend this! Had the blade done a couple of weeks ago before putting it away for the winter and it is spotless. Also ACF'ed to the max!

It looks better than any time I have cleaned it and I also would take a good 4 hours trying!...

Yes indeed plus the obligatory tassled leather jacket to go with it

Shiny shiny, very different to the gixxer

Wow. That's a step change and a half
