The insurance company gave me this to ride in the meantime as my other bike was being fixed:
Now that my bike is fixed, i got it back today and its looking good but ive got a dent in the tank which they didnt sort out and im gonna hve to argue with them about as im expecting the standard response ‘it was there already’.
The hornet is a much more fun bike than the bandit its feel is a lot like my zx6 but with less powere as it has a detuned cbr engine. Shame about the build quality though - pretty crap for a Honda. The bandit keeps me sane on the road and is a kinda does what it says on the tin kinda bike. And its good for my back too.
Will see you tonight along with bugboy and talk about the trumpet your buying.
I think you need to get test riding differnt bikes. Can i recommend the 03-04 zx6r (b1/b2 model), like Chuffsters (ex bike now) and Bike2Travel’s. Its a fantastic bike, powerful and handles very well. If i would upgrade my zx6 to that if i could. But it all depends on how you feel on the different bikes so get yourself to some friendly dealers and blag a few rides.
Fair enuf Tony but i sometimes get a bit bored of having power on tap and prefer having to work for it hence loving my vfr400 and would really like an rs or rvg 250. But i think we are quite lucky to have an array of bikes to choose from which can accomodate everyone’s likes.
Ya dont have to twist my arm to build you a streetfighter we just sit down with a big cup of coffee pens and paper and see where we get to any time mate we’ll talk Friday
