Cheers Mark.

I stuck it in quotes cos I knew it was bespoke.

Thats just the feeling I get when I ride a mates K3. Thou's feel a big jump. Love torque.

Ride an 88 750 against an 89 1100, one's a scalpel the others a hammer, even back then it was just about the perfect balance.

I'd go for the kwak. No other reason than I like the look of it way much more than the Suzuki.

If so, twin Akros does it for me on that model everytime!

Stu, have you checked the insurance on a ZX10?

I seem to vaguely remember tales of it being phenomenally easy to break bits and phenomenally expensive to repair???

Whilst I can't comment on the particular bike you're looking at, the standard was a single stubby can
