Hopefully it fell through then, either that or they need to update their adverts.

M4 Jc 26 (Before brynglas tunnels), through malpas. When you get to the roundabout for the bypass don't go towards abergavenny way but head for cwmbran down cwmbran drive. First roundabout turn right then your next left into an industrial estate and left. You'll see a big honda sign as you come towards the roundabout. It's by the parkway hotel if you know it.

what sorta test ride did they give you? were u out on your own or did one of their guys follow you?

top speed wise it did not seem hugly differant i only got it up to 130 but its a lot quicker getting there, i also found that i was doing 60ish in a 40 zone with out relising, it had a remus can on it, but it was a bit quite for my liking.
the newer one was more comfortable, which surprised me, seemed a lot smaller & lighter. i was a lot more conifedent on roundabouts and bends.:pig:

Have you still got the smaller front wheel on your bike?
I always find it difficult riding high spec bikes for comparison, their setup can change everything. I have to admit they're mighty fine looking bikes :)

sadly the first one is too expensive, and the 2nd link does not work.

i have been looking for a few weeks now, and not realy found "the one" maybe im being too fussy?

hovis 12-02-08 11:20 PM

I'd go for it if I was you dude, can't really tell for sure from the pics but it looks as in a good condition as any bike that age. Decent price too.

hovis 12-02-08 11:55 PM

Re: help finding a 2002/03 954cc blade
 
but its the wrong colour

(although i am tempted)

I reckon the black on yellow looks better than the yellow on black

DO IT, you know you want to ;)

the more i look at it, im getting to like it, i would still prefere the 02 yellow on black, theres somthing about the black head fairing on the 03 black on yellow that does not look right?
