After destroying my 500 Grif in August i've been thinking about a 220 turbo to replace it.
I would expect the VX will have better brakes and handling. Will I miss the outright grunt of the Griff ?
Has anyone got experience of both cars ?

Thanks for the advice.
Must admit Tamora's and T350's look pretty cheap but a friend of mine has just had a £3500 bill for his 10k mile Tamora. ( valves,guides,small ends and a main bearing )
Is it worth the risk ?

Don't get me wrong, I had the Griff for almost four years, three trips to Le Mans, frightened the hell out of numerous bikers and really enjoyed the car but it's handling on the limit was scary as were the brakes.

After the storm blows a lighter, fresher, wind.
