Went with a mate of mine to buy (another) EXUP, he says to bloke "what'll it do" bloke reckoned 165, brings it back after 10 minute test ride and says "you were wrong it pulls to 175"!

Seller was not impressed.

I've clocked up 13,000 miles on my cbr600rr5 and although I keep looking at other bikes, they are always considered as second bikes; I couldn't part with the RR.

I'm always gonna keep the sv and if I get the CBR600 I'll probably keep that too as it's been a blike I've wanted since before I had a license, so guess any other bike would be viewed as a 3rd/special occasion bike!!!
