Do you get commission?

i've been on that forum, registered, and then couldn't ever log in more than once - emailed the database administrator and never got a reply so gave up - i don't like it, they should upgrade the forum software as it looks like it was created in Frontpage 97

I want one of those... If I had room for a second bike, I'd have one now. Lovely bikes. Maybe as close to do-everything as you can get, but they don't sacrifice much in any area for that versatility either.

You know a bike's great when the media describe it as bland

It's still top of my list of next bikes

Personally speaking, it was just that with having to replace my SV's reg within a few months of owning it, I wasn't in a rush to get another bike with that problem

I knew you'd like that one, what with your bland blade

At eight years old that looks dear to me.
But they are really good bikes.

Yeah, 175mph and 130+ BHP is pretty bland innit....

Seriously mate, Honda just make things that do the job. Look at the 900 Hornet, nobody gives it a 2nd look, but it's a cracking bike....
