2013 repsol fireblade. I've wanted a 'blade ever since Marshall Honda let me have one for a day while my ratty old fazer was in for MOT. Top lads and a shame they've closed now.

Popped over to Grantham Honda earlier and had a look at the current 'blades and i don't really like the standard colour schemes - black is alright but looks like any other year of 'blade, HRC looks a bit dull, white looks like it'll age badly. The repsol from last year looks lovely though.

What i didn't realise is that honda are doing 0% finance with PCP on the ABS blades. £2.5k deposit and £185 per month. Dangerous!!

DRZ 400, I will probably end up getting one if I pass my test next year. What I have now is perfect, it just needs more power so this seems like the next logical step. Has to be in SM form too.

They are a good step up from a 125 if your into supermotos. I loved mine as a doitall bike.

I'm currently deciding which kidney to sell to afford this which has just popped up on ebay...

My nearest dealer had 3 in the showroom and it looks great. All their allocation sold out though, so you couldn't even sit on it!

I see you've just bought one laugh

Out of interest, how do your ZX6R and the GSXR compare?

Today I want an FZ1s. Big capacity, nice and upright and I can slap on panniers along with a topbox. And it should be better for pillions...my old man is going to have a heart op soon and wont be allowed to pilot his own gixxaaaahhh so I want to be able to take him out to alleviate his boredom.

Saw an FZR250RR for sale for 750 quid yesterday. Actually really quite fancy it, but hated my FZR400 so won't bother.

Had it been a ZXR250 I reckon I'd have been on the phone to the chap. Still seems cheap though!

I've got a big hard on for a Speed Triple. That'll be the next bike I buy, mark my words.




The other two, well an RGV250 in Pepsi colours so I could pretend I was Kevin Schwantz:




And the one bike I will always lust after, and really, if I could find a good one for a reasonable price, would still buy, either an NC24 or NC30 VFR400 in Rothmans colours.
