Really does look like they've crashed that and rebuilt it using whatever spare parts they had lying about.

No cohesion whatsoever.

I realise it would be a dull place if we all liked the same things, but that ZZR is absolutely hideous in my eyes - sorry.
Much as I hate to say it, I agree. The colour scheme isn't flattering at all, and those exhausts look like megaphones. Matt black with some Akropovic and it would look great.

Cool xjr, but a centre stand ? That would be the first thing I would lose.

For the past couple of weeks I've mostly been lusting after this. Just the ticket for that quick Sunday blast, then I could turn mine into a bagger.

I cant imagine it would ride too good.

The engine seems to dominate everything.

Talking of engine - what is it ?

It's a Triumph Rocket 111, or it was when it left the factory.

^^^^^^ One of these for me, quite fancy one next, now my biking has changed to just for fun, rather than AWB.
I seriously considered one of these for my commute, but the R1 just pipped it to the post in terms of ease of ownership. That and I've never ridden one before and available examples were few and far between. One day though. smile

Just been catching up with the MotoGP (don't have BT sport, so rely on ITV player for the highlights)

Problem is every time I watch it, I have an urge to get a sports bike. Not any particular make/model depending on who's riding what etc.

At the moment, it's a CBR600RR lickpaperbag

Passed my Mod 1 earlier today, so bike shopping now begins in earnest. Right now I can't see far beyond this as a first big bike... seems like the total package I'm after.

Update: Passed my Mod 2 last tuesday, arranged a test ride saturday morning, loved it, placed an order.

Should be in my possession before the end of the month. Can't wait!
Congratulations. Enjoy it.
Good choice!
