It's since had it's **** tidied as well. The amount of polish I put on this beast it will take something quite substantial to actually scratch the paintwork. And "everybody's" got a blue Gixxer (although the K4 600 blue & white ia about the best yet.)

As for the 749... The "Dark" looks good but is "basic" (and it needs a steering damper).

Amanda, having ridden a 'busa on a number of occasions, if you need the seat lowered, you shouldn't be on an SV... It's that low..

If I were to change, would have to be the new MV F4 1000 Tamburini. (Now that's what God meant bikes to look like)

He's probably one of the few people who can afford one But beauty comes at a price, and in this case, it's about £30k...

If you can afford one, you don't care.....

If it were money no object, then a Mondial Piega, thank you very much. Absolutely stunning bikes.

On a more realistic note, then it would be a KTM duke, my commute to work doesn't include any motorways or fast A - roads (well they aren't supposed to be fast), so lack of fairing and top end wouldn't be a biggy, if I needed to do motorway miles there's always the *spit* cage *spit*

Or I could just take the insurance money and stick with my RS125 and blow it all on booze and fast women.

With 136 crank horsepower and 168 kilos of weight (370 pounds dry -- incredibly light for a 1000cc twin), the Piega is a tasty machine. The production machine used to homologate the superbike racer (also shown in this article) features materials like titanium and carbon fiber to achieve this light weight.

Although featuring the Honda RC51 engine, several changes have been made by Mondial, including variable fuel-injection (two of the four injectors per cylinder work only above 8000 rpm). The ignition is also exclusive to Mondial.

More details as they emerge.
So, it's Italian bodywork & a Honda engine

IMHO it doesn't look 'all that' Except the colour's nice

OK, own up who voted for the American Agricultural Vehicle?

It sounds like Jeremy Clarksons, Reasonably Priced Car
