[QUOTE="JackH"] Or a Pan European... [/QUOTE] Old one's are just fine.
I know. I've had one... if I didn't have a barge like the GSX in the fleet already, I'd probably have one in the fleet when the times comes to expand it.
I prefer the 750... but I think I was actually quicker on twisties on the 800. That, and the 800 is a lot better on fuel by comparison when you wring the neck of both... IME, anyway.
Yeah, I did - a VFR800. It suited me fine. 'Takes all sorts' and all that - a lot of the press rated it as well, and IIRC, they don't fair too badly in the Ride Readers polls each year.
Better get another brake pedal fitted to your car then I know no-one is going to win this argument but I copped a lot of flack about the linked brakes when I owned a Blackbird. All I can say is that it took a little while to get used to them but then I found them very good, even when punting the thing hard. I don't know that I'd like the old Guzzi version of linked brakes, Honda's at least is an intelligent set-up.
