I have bike mags from 2002-2003 where the road tests all say that the pointy was no great improvement over the original model. Maybe I should scan them and post them up?

Everybody knows the curvey was a prototype - they hadnt even finished the bodywork design - someone just threw globs of playdough until they thought that there was ebough on it - then the made a mould and turned it into plastic

TRUE FACT !!!!

This vote is bikist...

I've got access to 4 bikes. Although I have to grovel for permission to ride "The Duke"

Actually well technically if I was insured on them all I'd be able to ride.

K1 SVS
K5 GSXR-750
K5 SVS
04 Ducati 749S
2001 Aprilla RSVR Millie
51 Plate Series 1 Faser 600
I think its a 1948 Matchless G80 500CC single
I think a 1930 BSA 350 "Sloper"
I think a 1929 BSA 250 Single

Is there a prize if so what do I win
