Shame about the knee - Have some fun on the KL though

I'm finally looking at getting a newer bike. So maybe a litre is on the cards. How about this for something different. I really like the look of it.

Not sure if I've posted this before but, if it helps anyone there is a link to an online (obviously) Microfiche for all bikes made by the big four Jap manufacturers.

It looks

But it would be hard work at 'motorway' speed.

That's my main concern about naked bikes. I'd get strong arms though
Plus I don't think the tank range is any good on most big twins. A jap four is probably the best bet. I don't know which one really, I think it will depend on what deals are available when I look.

P.S. I only really want a litre bike to make sure Dan and San don't keep blasting past me in Almeria

Just thought I would post and say that I have officially joined the 2 wheels club, passed my CBT and have acquired a bike for my riding pleasure! A nice little Wuyang 125 to hoon around on until I do my Part 2 in May and get myself a real bike!
Nice!

Good work - pictures of your bike please

Make sure you wear the protective clothing all the time

(well not if you aren't riding the bike - unless you want to )
