Bah

The Z750 is a lovely piece of kit, allowed me to see the whites of Larry's eyes on the Sunny Hunny run, which considering how rubbish I am and how good Pete was on the SV shows that to quote Sid Squid at the time after he had just had a try on my Zed "Well its a better bike than the rider is"

If you dont keep it then some on here should consider it as a next step from the SV

Not much help was I?
On the contrary I think you have hit the nail on the head there - the SV and Zed have been great bikes but they are not desirable bikes. (SV not desirable?! )

The Tuono is Italian exotica and in a totally different league...

Hmm...

Not according to the guy I just spoke to - but then he might say that!

Looks like it could be the way to go - 0% runs until the end of Feb - if my bike is clean enough he might get very close to what I want for it - the 09 Tuono is only in black and white and there is a 3% price increase coming so its worth jumping now if I am going to...

Black anyone?

I'm sorry but yes....I would straight away it pure sex.

All its comes down to is money and whether your comfortable with what your doing.

I always question myself for ages before buying relatively expensive stuff, i used to give myself a real hard time about it.

Someone then said to me you only live once.
