Ermm... I think I said no luggage?!??! [smilie=sleeping.gif] Anyway. To re-iterate: 1. I *am* looking for a toy that gives me a serious and special thrill when I see it and when I ride it. 2. I *am* keeping the 11S I looked at the torque figures on a GSX750 last night... :lol: John

A "S"??? The dealer has intimated he doesn't understand why people go for them... Though I have to say that I do actually fancy a Black one...with the red frame...which is an "S". I found the riding position surpisingly OK (I'd set my expectations low and have been doing a few ex...

Disappointingly, the 1098 wasn't ready to test, and the roads were too damp (round Essex) to give the 848 a real go (especially as I was being led around by a Skyline GTR). Anyway, though a lovely bike, I can't help but feel that it's not enough. I looked up the torque figures yesterday and it would...

I know what you mean about theft...when I see all these people chaining their bikes up outside a pub...(when they sit outside as well!) I have an Me109 (apparently) with the Laser race cans, and was rather taken with the 848s (sort of) supercar sound, so not sure about moving from a fighter to a bom...

The Duck side

Hmmmm... I'm contemplating an 848 (I had a test ride today)... Seems like it's what the R1200S should have been from my brief excursion (didn't have time for proper twisties) ;-) Excepting the mirrors of course. :roll: I have another test ride planned with both a 1098 and an 848... Any constructive ...

It was a bit confusing...

The wife's mileage was mostly done on an ST. However, if I'm not mistaken her bike in the main picture is an S and the bike in little picture is an ST. Both are red, but not the front mudguard.

Zzzzzzzzzz...

Oh no....I'm contemplating becoming a poser (sic). :lol: Squids? I thought that was a military collective noun used around Navy bases?

Tricky. When I saw the figures in Bike I thought...not enough horses. But then again, I can't use the horses I've already got (11S). I've only once been close to tears on a Motorway going into Seville as bike after bike passed me on their way to the Jerez GP. They were all too scared to pass me on t...

It has gone (left hand heat that is).

Is this something that a 2nd from Motorworks can sort, or does it need to be new (or not have the wiring/connector screwed, etc)?

Thanks in advance!

Mine arrived on Tuesday (I left my old one on a plane a couple of weeks ago :( )...

Very nice...even the Album cover carousel (just like a Jukebox). Though I'm not sure about walking round with 35MB of artwork...
