Nice! I should be ordering one of these, in the same colour, in a couple of weeks time.

It's an absolute beast - over 100 (erm leptons?!) in 1st gear Good choice - and better looking than the new Gixer Thou.

Anna - it looks like an alarming 67 people on this site would, but much more alarmingly, 3 of them would go for the mini cab!

I would love to ...... but it is a company bike so I can buy new, reclaim the VAT and it will cost me less that you are looking for your Blade.

(I also have a Yamaha dealer 5mins walk from where I live and the nearest Honda dealer is a long way off)

Semi-joke, I was unsure which car to ask for and din't want to commit s2ki suicide by hoosing the wrong one

I am shocked how many people want a Mini cab though !!!!!!!!!!

Not surprised by the Boxster, I'd probably take the boxster over everything else in the list, and not surprised by the lack of votes for the TT either

I voted for the Mini Cab!! by process of elimination... as follows:

MR2 - hairdressers car (floor sweepers & trainees)
MX5 - A Sheep in Sheep's clothing
TT - Uber Hairdresser (for the salon 'style & colour director') heh heh
Cooper S - Proves you have more money than sense - frivolous but not too stereotyped yet.... although a local estate agent appears to have bought a 'fleet'.... which is worrying.
Z4 - Black Man's Willy - generally driven by complete Mekons
Poxster - poor person's 911 - Driven/owned by Mekon's butler & pretentious 'company directors' (ie set up in living room selling tea towels from the internet).



That's my theory

This is a strange phenomenon that has escaped my comprehension in the 22 years I have been riding.... how can riding a bike make your wrists hurt??? I just don't geddit.

I have another theory.

Wanna hear it?
































Think you may be suffering from typists hand. Do you have a desk job?
