Yeah, loving the look of the MT-07 Razz, really does look cool and urban. I like it!
It’s soo good at the round town driving as well, high wide handlebars and a nice low CG make slow riding really enjoyable.

Do you have an MT as well ?

I don’t think it’s possible to go much over 100 leptons with the MT07, the engine is willing but my sail like body shape is reluctant. But when i have attempted it the force is really something to be reckoned with !
Did a 120 the other day on the motorway trying to catch up with my son riding my vfr x . Reminded me of wind surfing that's why I added the screen. Remains to be seen if it helps somewhat.

I've got one - a fantastic bike, far more capable than me.
Yes, new. There were 4 or 5 unallocated in the Uk when I bought it in June, and that's it. I had the HP before that and a K12S before that. Really good bikes.

Nope - for this one reason. As soon as I stop and put feet down, the pegs are stuck right in my shins.

Maybe, but it weighs about 270kg - almost 100kg more than my 600! I do see a few of them though, more ZZR than Hayabusa.

I'm currently taken with this - if i'm honest with myself about how i ride / where i ride, it's more than enough power but crucially ( and in my eyes at least ) it looks like a proper motorbike and to my ears, sounds like one too. Something about using more of it than i'd ever use of the Street Triple .... which i also DO like.

Also agree with ^^^ about 3k too expensive for what it is compared to everything else. Be a cracking used buy though.

The Thruxton R is my next bike in a few years when they come off PCP deals.

That K1300S is stunning!!!

Thinking about taking my s2k hardtop out of storage on the 1st of Nov and putting the bike in its place until 1st March.
