Re: The All New Megathread
I spent three hours pottering around backroads North of Oxford on it. It was OK for that. Very nimble and easy to turn round when I got lost, as I did several times due to road closures galore for surfacing and not having a TomTom sitting above the clocks. The biggest downside was not having the guts to get by the dithering 40-everywhere morons...
Personally I think a 500 to 650 twin would be better. The dealer are not expecting to see the SV-7GX until "late summer".

Re: The All New Megathread
Personally I tbink the only sub 500cc bike I would consider (and based purely on the reviews I've seen) would be one of Triumphs 400cc singles, probably the Speed 400.

Re: The All New Megathread
Evening all. Fed up with:
1. Cold northerly winds and low temperatures. 2. Back pain. Overdid it with the gardening last Sunday afternoon and now paying the price for it. Hope everyone has had a better week!

Re: The All New Megathread
Agreed on the weather Gary. We're playing russian roulette with the oil tank at the moment and the weather is not helping.
Hope your back recovers soon.

Re: The All New Megathread
We've had several hail storms over the last three days, and mild frosts! The tops on the early spuds look very unhappy and the heating is still coming on for at least part of the morning and evening. No fun at all.

Re: The All New Megathread
Got the long awaited phone call from Shrewsbury honda today. New bike is ready for collection. Matt the sales guy is off tomorrow so will pick up on Thursday morning.
(I've just remembered to sorn the current bike as tax is no longer transferable)
