it's beating the competition though which is good to see all it need's is a name change and a more aggressive version and it'd be reet.

Its simply the way some of it looks for me that I find offensive.

Knocked the others into a cocked hat with torque AND powa!

After all these years its still the daddy.

....unfortunately the now out the closet cross-dressing daddy.

Where is it beating the competition? Certainly not on looks. Have you seen one on the roads... no, nor have I or any of my mates.

Only in the minds of MCN readers is where it rules - and to be perfectly honest, the average spittle drooling MCN reader has a vacant space between his ears big enough to ride a Gladius around in.

PMSL, that was very poetic! I used to read it, but then worked out for myself that it was a pile of poo. i'd finish reading and be depressed, thinking that biking was about to be banned or other such drivel. The reviews are OK for used bikes on the web site but you can find much more detailed stuff by joining a forum.

even if you don't like the bike it's still a testament to the sv engine in that after all these years it's still better than these brand new engine's snapping at it's heel's that's the way i see it all you gotta do is wait for someone to build the right bike around the improved engine with a new name and look's and bobs your uncle.
