A big trail type beast, what would sir buy? I love the whole KTM 990 Adventure S package & ride, but no-one has one so reviews are as rare as tits on a drainpipe. The Honda Transalp is just a bit low on power for me, no more GS's please. The new Tiger has changed into a different type of bike altogether. Bit of a sparse genre now. I really do like the KTM, it also look very well put together with real quality parts. Quite light too, for it's size. Getting bored of looking now. I am not buying without anecdotal evidence this time though. I'm nearly at the stage of getting a big **** off supermoto & shoving panniers on it. -- 'Got a letter from the government the other day, opened it up it said that they where suckers....'

Nige, FFS how many "what bike" posts are you going to make. Just go fucking buy one. Sorry man but you really are starting to drone on a bit :s Im hardly the most entertaining person here (and only very rarely post) but come on man make a decision and put us/me out of our/my mysery. <toddles off to collect another spicy rum>
Whatever sir likes. For goodness sake you change bikes more often than some women buy handbags and shoes. You won't have whatever you buy for long enough for it to cause you worries [1]. Christ, we have you buying a bike every two nanoseconds and at the other extreme darsy who takes millennia to decide what he might like to buy. The only issue in common between the pair of you is endless postings asking for advice or reviews of your latest wish lists. If I was you I would keep my money in the bank until I was really happy that I had found the bike I wanted to buy and I'd researched it all myself and not relied on the views of everyone else. As far as ukrm is concerned you will either get every opinion under the sun about a bike which is no help or else unanimity about the latest clit bike (currently the ZX10 it seems). [1] yes, yes you were traumatised by the GS but you were warned but ignored the advice. [2] [2[ which makes it all the more ironic that you are asking for more opinions from ukrm.
No one here has ever seen me properly angry - it is not a pretty sight. I was simply exasperated not angry.
Wallets only wear out if you open them and take out money. Yours will have years of life left in it yet
Its Italian, what could possibly be wrong with it ? TBH I have not sussed it out yet, but it looks to be the coils or something to do with the ignition system. It runs fine for 10 miles or so then just conks out, no coughing or spluttering, just stops. It wont reatsrt unless you give in 10mins or so to cool down, then repeat.......... Deffo not a random problem as it happens *every* time I take it out. It may be for sale, but not untill I get it sorted.
Come on, you have to make some mistakes on your own. Don't tell me you have never done it. Anyway, i reckon the Yamaha XT with a full rack might just be what I'm after & it's cheap as dogpiss too. -- 'Got a letter from the government the other day, opened it up it said that they where suckers....'

Whatever you say, at least my posts are to do with bikes, not kittens & **** only knows what shit. I dont moan about them, so dont moan about mine OK? Don't forget, this is as much my group as any other poster, it's not modded, so get over it. -- 'Got a letter from the government the other day, opened it up it said that they where suckers....'

Oh he's a lovely chap but you just know it's John Sweeny lurking somewhere deep under the surface. Actually I've known Sweeny since he was a quiet fledgling reporter and his recent outburts had me in stitches.
Mea culpa......I am what I am...... <sounds of hazel switch hitting felsh of naked back...> Did you ever see the advert a few years back for the last Toyota MR2 with the monk in the saffron coloured robes? <"mind pure, body cleansed...I fear nothing but the night...."> A mate saw that on telly and called me stright away.
