Its also a 6 year old bike - any blowing up it might be inclined to do would probably have been done a long time ago, I suspect. I'm told it usually happens in the first fortnight or so :smt090

Dave, as long as you don't let Orose on it you'll be fine with the bike. Orose seems to have some sort of special power to disable bikes. :lol:

Doesn't seem to work on SVs - I did nigh on 30k on mine before trading it in :p

'Jesus Christ' was my catch phrase of today, shame I didn't catch it on camera (no batteries) but pulled a cracking involuntary wheelie. I'm starting to like ECU restrictors, I don't get the annoying huge dip of power at 6k. Handles okay but I really do want to sort the front suspension, might sharpen up the braking amongst other things.

Yes the banana is for sale :( Which is a shame because I'd just got it spot on.

Dave, the leo system won't fit.

Regarding it being slow handling, what tyres are on it? I know richie had something wierd on the back, didn't appear to slow him down much though.
Yeah I'm happy with the art can that's on to be honest I'll let the lucky buyer of the nana enjoy the leo. Wish I could afford to track bike it.....
It's got a pirrelli something by 70 by something up front and a 180 michelin rear. I'm undecided on whether or not I like the set up, might try some good old storms next and see what I make of them in comparison.

Art can you say Dave. I got one of them on Suzy. They're a rarity these days so look after it.


oh and the bike as well;-)
