I can see that the progression is in keeping with getting older...

No I sold the srad because it allowed me to ride like a doylem without any fear/sense of limits. This new 750 doesn't feel quite as 'point & shoot' & I feel like I've fallen out with it since it broke down after 4 months of excitement.

Gonna get it back from York Suzuki (still in bits) and find a proper garage to fix it after they transferred it to their lock up because they wont "have time to look at it for atleast 3 weeks" and they "shouldn't have taken an engine swap on in the first place because it's too big a job" for them.

Gonna get it on the road again & see how I feel about it. Then maybe get an r1..

That sucks dude!

Does anyone need an r1 tho. On that subject how did you feel moving from fast bike to fast car?

All bikes only go as fast as you make them .. it's one of those things I've always fancied trying just to see what it's like.

Fast bike to fast car = boring change, the s4 was fun to blow off m3's and reps in mercs but it just doesn't compare to the dynamic experience of riding a bike where you can choose a line, feel the wind through your lid, feel exactly what the bike's doing under braking & cornering etc. The car was good because it had heated leather seats.

As for York Suzuki, I've informed Suzuki GB and they said that York Suzuki are an independent business but they're carrying an international brand name so shouldn't really be conducting themselves like cowboys.

Already managed to get a review on google (search for york suzuki) I'm off to leave some reviews on other sites when I get chance. Just want the bike working now.
