what could be better, nice sunny day, just collected the new TNT

it lasted exactly 33 miles before it died on me , didn't enjoy pushing it through Reading in the rush hour. Its been stretchered back to the dealer

oh well, back to the GSXR 750 which is unlikely to ever let me down

bloody Italians

A friend of mine has a TNT (should be getting a Titanium edition at the end of May - nice!) and it's a truly fantastic bit of kit - except that his keeps dying too. Fast Bikes did an article last month, which turned out to be his actual bike (he's got the Demo whilst his Titanium is built) and they experienced it cutting out quite often too. Apparently there is a very fiddly order in which you have to use the ignition and kill switch, and the kill switch should always be set to off when the bike is switched off.

Regardless - its a bloody faff and poor design. Lovely bikes though, when theyre running.
