You think that Blue_SV650S and Clarkson are one and the same?????

If nobody has ever seen them in the same room together you might be right!

I'm clearly biased but I just don't like the look of that BMW that won, it doesn't look like a bike should to me. And the SV lost points because it was a bit too "sporty" in riding position, well thats one of the reasons I got mine. So even if I'd seen that review I'd still get an SV, I reckon most folk would do the same.

I don't like that one, but the stunt version is absolutely beautiful. They need to bring out a road-legal version of it:

Honorary degrees are exactly that, honorary... He's hardly the first to get one that he's not earned, Mother Theresa has an honorary degree from Cambridge :) George W Bush was awarded one from Yale, despite the fact that he was declined the opportunity to study there further after his batchelors. Arsene Wenger's got one, Alex Ferguson, Jack Charlton and Pierluigi Collina too, and all they did was kick balls/manage ball kickers. Cilla Black has one. David Attenborough has 19.

Kermit the Frog has an Honorary Doctorate of Amphibious Letters from Long Island University.

The difference is Kermit deserves his honorary Degree. Clarkson does not........even though he is one big muppet.

I like Clarkson... He's a professional knobend, and he knobends well.

Looks like another Bike test (like last months Head to Head) where they write about how the SV is better in all sorts of ways, then conclude something else is better overall.
... looking after their income?

The new Tiger looks good! It's the first in that style I've liked.

that tricked up beemer looks smart however it would still need a bikini fairing for me just not the ugly thing the 800 has at the moment
