At the risk of being boring, they’re the best bike ever. I love mine so much. Way better than my new bike.

I love it too, a perfect alternative to my ZZR1400. What is your new bike?

Looks lovely, I can see how you’d prefer the 600 though.

Colour scheme and design is bang on with that

Said it before but seeing more and more of these. I think people wanting circa 100hp, lightweight, good handling and great electronics are what's doing it

Can't beat thrashing a bike through the twisties and it not being bonkers quick. I have the 1100 and that can get pretty lairy

That's exactly what swung it for me. I'd been toying with the idea of buying the V4, but this is just so much more useable on the roads.

North Wales on Saturday. We certainly didn't have a heatwave - 14 degrees here and 10 over Denbigh Moors - bloody freezing!

I've built myself a Rotax mount on my ADV





Its now even got a foam bit behind some spacers. Should help extend the range a bit

Managed to get out late on yesterday. Had a good ride on empty roads.

Went to a nice bike swap/meet at the weekend.

Didn’t get a picture of all of us together, but this is what £450K worth of brand new Honda Africa Twins looks like!

It was a bit damn hot for our two days of off road adventure training, 30C ambient, and 47C measured on the bikes after a big hill ascent.

Brilliant couple of days though!

Here’s a few of my 360 videos too.

Quick trip to Widnes and a stop before home.

Went racing on father's day with my dad who's still very much into the racing scene and sponsored the day for no other reason apart from supporting the club.

They run twin shock, Evo and Super Evo together but score separately. I couldn't run the Super Evo pace as I'm not good enough and the bike isn't really either but the good ol' Maico definitely has the straight line performance gating 3rd-4th every time against them as the only twin shock up there...I just couldn't stop it for the corners with the drum brakes.



Good result for my class though, no injuries or break downs and a fun day had

That V4 is a bit special. I'd quite like that in my garage

I've had an SP1 - great memories and a mate still has his owned about 17 years but they dont have quite the same nostalgia for me. Think I'd rather a Gen1 Mille

I agree, very rare over here.

First running in service completed this morning on the H2.

Couldnt really exploit it on the way home but I hope to get out this evening…

Couldnt have picked a better day for it…my other half bought a new visor a couple of weeks ago , I noticed how
much clearer it was than mine, which is only 4 years old, so I popped into J&S Finedon for a replacement, its made a huge difference, should have replaced it before now really.

Spent the last week or so up in the Pyrenees zig zagging between Spain and France. Just superb!

I told my wife that(over and over) , took her to see the film a couple of weeks ago, funny enough, she would more interested in having Tom Cruise in the garage than the H2...
