Change of bike
Put down a deposit on a replacement for my thundercat today, hopefully picking it up next week, i decided i wanted something with more torque, still sporty but with mile munching ability two up, tried a Honda CBF 1000, Bev liked the smooth engine, the comfort but said it was bland, who am i to argue !!. i'm only the driver. Then tried a bandit 1250s but didn't feel right on it, too upright and it felt twitchy in a crosswind. tried this and it felt right straight away, fast and comfortable with buckets of low down stomp. even from 30 in 5th it pulls like a train, can't wait to get it and start having fun. Triumph Sprint 955i, 2003, and with fitted panniers, also having a rear topbox rack fitted to take my topbox, will probably get a touring screen at a later date.
