I had an 'Alan's bike' when I bought my ZX6R off the guy I sit next to at work. Throwing it down the road a few times soon made it all mine though
Hence me looking at the Shiver The Zed was dynoed at 111hp at the back tyre - I now know that to be just about right for what I like to do on a bike

I dont think I want to go to that extreme!

I'm the same with my SV650 - perfectly happy with it, but I think I would've been happier with the thou!
