Didn't realise the pointy 650 was that slow.
I was sat at the of lights on Kennington Park Road (next to Oval station in London) and heading North towards Clapham waiting for the light to change.
As you do(well I do anyway) you try and make some space for other bikes. Along comes a rider on black pointy SV650 who proceeds to go past all the stopped bikes and plonks himself in front. I'm thinking maybe you know something I don't but no sweat. light change , I set off (Not too briskly) and as about to pull to the right I hear the revs on the pointy rising rapidly and he's alongside me and edging it. 'Silly bugger you' I thought and wacked it open , snicked it into second then third leaving him choking on the fumes from my blue curvy a$$. Yep , know it's not big or clever but sometimes you go to draw a line somehow. Next set of lights and light turned red so I stopped and made sure there was enough room for him to edge in front of the car. Looked across just incase I was mistaken with my earlier assesment of him but the rider just kept looking straight on . At the point I though 'indeed a muppet' So if you are the rider on the black pointy , wears spectacles ,d ark visor and wearing a high viz bib 'don't be muppet'. You give the other SV riders a bad name   Cheers Ben

.. and when you crash into the back of a stationery car by gunning it from the lights while rubbernecking the "muppet" we can all point and laugh at you as we drive past.

Obvious reason for this!
It was a black bike - Of course it was slow - Black ones are the slowest by far - Blue the quickest(obviously) - This is VERY well documented!
