I must admit, I'm more old school, and like these better than the smaller new version, big bikes should be big, not some light weight little thing, think they call it presence.

Nice one.

Cheers Mark.

Well it's been a funny old journey with the RSV.
I loved the GSXR to bits and found a new level of skill and fun in the 2 and a hald years I had him. But I kept yearning for the feel of a V twin again ( yes I had an SV once). I got sick of screaming throught the gears on the IL4 and all the image stuff that goes with a GSXR.
It took me a year to decide that the RSV was the bike I really wanted and then several months to find one. But a guy I know had a pretty one but wanted to part ex it for a less valuable bike that he would be happy to chuck around roads and the track. Terms agreed, job done

Went to swap/pick it up 3 days after Christmas. Cold and damp day. But hey, I'd ridden a V twin before - I knew what I was doing!

15 yards later bike was on it's side and I was effing and blinding on the floor. Only cosmetic damage to me and bike but I limped home (thank God it was less that 2 miles away). As I pulled up 2 biker neighbours were outside and I just stopped the bike and burst into tears.

My confidence was shot to zero until....... BigApe et famille came to visit 2 days later. Si thought to check the tyre pressures. 18 front 24 rear isn't right is it. All of a sudden I realised there might be another reason for me chucking it down the road other than my stupidity. Si MADE me get on it again (thanx babe)

Anyway, I've been battling with Il *******o since then but he is now tamed. The Italian beast is a pussy cat in my hands. 200 miles of East Anglian countryside eaten up today!!!!

Just need a new name now.....

any suggestions?

what was te name of the gixxer?
was it Eric or summat daft?
