Most unsuitable winter hack
 
Fella in work has a cbr600rr, turns up with his hack...........

an xjr1300 .......... the heartless bastid! :cry: :lol:

Imagine how light it will be come march with all that metal work flaked and furred and rusted off.

Was at a bike auction earlier in the week.

A 1998 50000mile Blackbird went through for £1600.
Still looked like the day it left the factory too. The thought did cross my mind as to whether i could use it instead of the sv this winter!!

Mega novelty value in having a Blackbird winter bike!!

There's a bloke in Glasgow that uses a CBR600RR as his commuter (well it sits outsde work offices everyday anyway). Always bogging.

A guy at work has a thunderace as a winter hack, muffs, panniers and furry forks. It's third winter and it looks it.

I've just switched from a GSXR600 all year round bike to a FJR1300.....

I've removed the panniers for commuting :lol:

How about a GSX-R600 K6?

I'm sure that's gonna weather the winter nicely... 8-[ [-o<
