I love those! But I'm not very confident mechanically yet, and I'm assuming this bike can be a bit more tempremental than the more reliable Jap bikes.
However, I do like to be different, and the fact that I don't see many of these about makes me like that. Unless there a
bad reason that you don't see many! lol

My bad, I guess those 4 points I listed aren't really enough to offer better advice.
Insurance info: I'm 31, been riding 11 months so far, so will have 1 years no claims bonus all being well. As long as my insurance comes in under about 750 for the first year then I don't mind too much. I've riden allsorts experience wise, including 9 months of comuting to/from work, as well as weekend jonties. About 4k miles experience, no real long journeys yet though.
Engine: Don't mind really, I love the screaming sound of a Straight 4, but wouldn't rule others out at all, not pidgeon holed my engine choice.
Style: I love the Supersports, but realise that they aren't completely suited to what I need or to my size. I like the fully/mostly faired look. Not keen on FZR Half faired kinda look though, and nakeds/trailies etc are not my thing.

All he has done is put a double bubble on it and gets on just fine.

I put a double bubble on my SV650S but still get really knocked around.
