Default Guess who's going out the door to buy a new toy?

Oh yes!

Narrowed it down to a CBR600, a Street Triple, a Daytona 675 or or or, wait for it, a VFR - i know, grey beard and reeking of.... but i am the wrong side of 30 now.

Got to go, i ain't been this giddy for ages.

Test rode the Daytona and the CBR. The Daytona was stunning but what little hair i had is now grey. The CBR is a pussy cat - brilliant bike, couldn't fault it but it was missing something for me.

THe VFR hit 7000rpm, "I want my mummyyyyyyyyy!" Its a tourer till you want to be silly.

All being well i'm picking it up Thursday.

Me too.

A Viffer? Sheesh!

I had one for a month as a loan bike. I thought it was great. Really liked it. Handled well, fast enough and could shame sports 600s no probs. Did make me feel a bit old though.
