I sold my CBR600F in the Spring but I may return to the biking fold next year. The Street Triple and BMW's new S1000R are both on the shortlist

Its all relative, I used to own some rather quick bikes but have been on an RVF400 for the last seven years and still love it.
Mainly do track days on it nowadays:

I've riden the BMW and it is one hell of a machine. I cant even imagine comparing that to a street triple hehe. Go try one. Nice electronics package, the quick shifter is fun. Handling is spectacular it feels like a 400cc bike to move about. The engine is savage, once you hit 10krpm it rips your face off! No criticisms at all.

Nice looking Urban Tiger, seem to be getting collectable and going up in price.

Save polluting the weekend thread.

Fitted my grips and did all the wiring nice and tidy. The Oxford kit really is great and made things relatively easy. The biggest difficulty was bashing the bracket in order to manipulate the controller so it looked good and didn't hit the tank.



My double bubble MRA screen comes this week too and I have bought a load of mounts for the mobius cam to see where is best for it.

An expensive mistake & lucky that he didn't make contact with the car or injure himself.
