Yeah Julian Clary rides a Honda and think's the world of his. Maybe he and Jelster are kindred spirits?

I wasnt really in the market for a new bike, but deciced to try a Kawasaki Z750S just for kicks - ended up buying a brand new one! I didnt want another 600 and I cant get on with the riding position of sports bikes, kind of rules out most bikes! Also a big factor for me was the cheap insurance, only £65 more than the SV Also the 750 means that you get the grunt low down too, this is no rev happy screamer, but if you wind it up past 7000rpm it goes like a scalded cat. Sure some dont like the looks (personally I think it looks great) and its not without its faults, but overall its a stonking ride and I dont regret the move one bit!

My mate had his R6 written off in a SMIDSY last summer. He's just got a new RSV Mille this week to replace it. He's deeply unimpressed with it so far (still running in).
I was very surprised to say the least.

A Tuono Factory for me or perhaps the new Trumpet naked 675 when/if it gets here.

Now back in the real world.....i'll stick to the SV6, and do more to it.

I voted blade cos I want one. Selling all the trick bits off my 600RR, should have enough to buy a low mileage 06. Fingers crossed
