New bike show/new pics

Me and Tsm went today, really enjoyed it! got a new textile jacket, a paddock style jacket for everyday use and Ric got a new back protector, had a good chat with my insurance co (carole nash) while i was there and got some good info off them re my accident etc

Thoughts on bikes:

Love the 675 (i always have! LOl) and the gxsr 750
Hate the new sv, feels so big and clumsy!!
Hated the 250 ninja-pity as i was considering it for next year
Hated the 848-no padding on seat and you just kept sliding into the tank!!
1098-yyuuummmmmmyyy, tiny tiny mirrors though!!

Ric loved the speed triple!!

I went today aswell wasn't as busy as i thought it would be. Loved the Blue 675 and that white gsxr750 is lush. I know what you mean about the seats on the 848 but i'd still have one . Wish i could have sat on the Duke Desmo, what a bike ... My pics to follow, whoop..

Surely an 848 is just a smaller engined 1098, so the seat and seating position should be the same, in much the same way as the 749/999 and 748/916 before it.

link is to all the pics-didnt think people would want to wait hours for them all to load up

I thought the 1098 with the foam non-slip seat was much comfier than the 848 seat but the 1098 with the regular seat was just as bad as the 848.
