I know mate I do feel guilty - I was hoping that the TT trip this year would be its swansong but the 'Bird was too good (and cheap!) to resist!

Great bikes, I would often use my friends bike so had quite a bit of seat time. Feels like playing playstaion when you ride it, everything is so easy, it does exactly what you want it to do. It is very fast but never feels scary, good breaks and really looses it's weight once on the move. If you want to go fast around corners, it does it with ease, but ground clearance is an issue, as the pegs scrape really easy.

A really good bike and a bargain now.

Well the 'Bird is now safely tucked up in my garage - I cant ride it until Tuesday though unfortunately but still - I can apply layers of polish to it this weekend
