Buy a Harley, their finance is expensive so they must be good. ;-)

 

<fx: hurt look>

But the other shit fulfils my biological need to play with spanners.

 

Isn't that what OSMs are for?

 

I'm waiting for Christofire's response.

heheh, we've been chatting on messenger about it.

Anyone bought from Drayton Croft in Coventry, or Cradley Kawasaki in
Warley?

 

Just fucking buy one and get it over and done with.

 

Ooh, you fuckers. I wonder if Suzuki will follow suit and put the
Gixxer thou on the never never.

P.

 

Go on, go on, go on, go on. You know you want to. I would if I was in
the UK.

 

I'm arranging a test ride as we type.

 

Doubt it. They haven't for the last few years when Kawasaki have done
this. I still wouldn't buy a new Thou though, the exhausts look crap.

 

Have you had a good look at the back end of the latest 10R?

I wouldn't really be worried about the arse end of a motorbike because
that's for everyone else to worry about afaic.

 

Yeah, and I think it looks better than the GSXR. The tail is a lot
tidier, and the exhausts are much higher and closer in than the GSXR.
The GSXR looks like a tourer with it's twin cans.

 

Oh, and I'd get it before the end of March in order to get the free
Akrapovic cans.

 

give her your 9R. after all, it is a girls bike.

hahaha

 

what's the "point" of supersports bikes?

what ever happened to your "motorcycling is a broad church" attitude.

 

I thought the new 10R was?

 

Not really; they both tend to be worked quite hard.

Oh, no; I really can't afford to buy two. I meant that I'd buy her one,
and then make sure it got used regularly.

 

I don't think she wants my cast-offs.

Actually, I think she's just waiting for me to get fed up with her
complaining about not having a usable bike, and buying her a Monster 900.

 

we're well into the realm of subjective experience here - presumably
you're attitude is something along the lines of "only supersports
bikes are good because only supersports bikes give you the maximum
enjoyment from riding them". It's perfectly possible that other people
would experience equal or greater subjective enjoyment from riding
other types of bikes. For example, to jump to the other end of the
biking spectrum, there is most definitely a sort of perverse enjoyment
from trying to wring the most performance out of old, relatively slow
and ill-handling shit (though I suspect you actually know this, given
the fact you own a GPz750 Turbo).

Well, yes. I've noted that it's really only sportsbike riders who
claim that only their type of bike is any good - riders of other types
of bike seem much more likely to conceed that other classes of machine
might also be worthwhile.
