Not for me, a mates after one. He's an experienced road biker, but these seem to be more a racers type of bike. Apart from the fact they are fugly, whats bad about them? Especially considering the earlier bikes. He's a big chap too, even bigger than me (i'm six three & 16 stone of highly tense muscle you understand) They do a nice black on black colour this year too. Couple that to 0% finance & easy availability it outshines the deal you would get on a new gixxer. Any views?
