Now it's GSXR time.

Only kidding, want a competition, who can buy a bike first, loser buys the other a bear at Assen/other meet point that is mutually acceptable?

I'm pretty sure I won't be buying until after Chrimbo.

Yeah it was Autorama Alex, I dealt with Ashley. Theyre still a bit on the expensive side if buying new (would buy 2nd hand though). Im not convinced about the engine really, totally different to the SV, felt much more agricultural but im not sure if there was something going on with the bike because Ive looked everywhere to see whether anyone mentions the ER6 or Versys as Agricultural and its never come up. Felt rather crude alongside the SV.

Lol Tim, yeah ok you're on hopefully Assen will be the destination!

Going to try the Shiver next I think, before testing the Street Triple.

Singles are now out

yeah... I managed to screw the tuono out of them so felt ok with the price...

Was it a yellow one livered up with thier details?

If so I had it as a courtasy bike the other week and hated it... cant say it was bad but nothing compared with the tuono..

Im know Im am turnign into Nick here, but do if you can try the tuono... I know a few ppl who bought the shiver and they chopped them straight back in against the tuono as they were less reliable and a bit iffy...

Might be worth a giggle any way!

You are turning into Nick! As ive said, no thou's here at the moment, not least for the extra running/ownership costs.

I rode their black Versys demo. Im going to try the Shiver next (locally) before finishing with the Striple. I still fear that the Striple will blow the other 2 away and Ill be hankering after one of those (being the most expensive)

There isnt that big a difference in ownership price between a street tripple and a 1000cc Vtwo

But anyway ill leave since I might also turn into Nick

Move along, nothing to see here, normal service has been resumed


Now that you're back riding you'll have to stop playing sick note and get back to work, (or have I missed out on something???).




nice one Rob........................
