So for less than 500 nicker I can sort the springers and it'll be great?
I want a nekkid one for a change. Had 2 fairings and one half fairing. I prefer to be in the wind, it's good exercise and there is no buffeting!!

She who must be obeyed no longer wishes to come pillion as regularly as she has been and so I fancied downsizing, I only bought the DL to tour with and she no longer likes to tour, WOMEN!

I've found an ABS one on 0% for 4 years, the tick is 40 quid less than i currently pay and i save on insurance and tax, so it almost seems a sensible choice!

Did you have to bray **** out of hornet everywhere or is the engine quite flexible?
The SV thou is bigger, the Hornet has a wider tank, but the SV is much longer.

My Mrs didnt want to go on the bike after I got knocked off by a Focus, but three years later and she changed her mind !!

Class, have you seen the hayabusa turbo video on you tube! the whell is in the air till 150mph!

I've ruled out a busa, too long, heavy, fast, expensive

that looks very nice, i'm hoping to get a black one. I'd probably bling it out with some nice tat. Carbon mudguard and hugger, very loud exhaust and of course fat tolerant springs.

you can put a little cowl thing on looks quite nice.
I don't wanna go crazy with it, but will do a few mods.
I wonder how much better a street triple is than one of these
