The itch is getting strong, what bike to "get back into it"?

Make me an offer on my SV!
Likewise, you can make me an offer on mine...it's far older though, and 73,000 miles. But it does have a topbox rack (topbox not included), and heated grips, and a louder exhaust (sounds nice)£600. Cosmetically challenged (some gaffa tape round the right-side-front indicator because of a cracked fairing) but mechanically nice. Done plenty of 2-up trips on it, dosnt need servicing for 2000 miles either
I went out for a ride on mine last weekend on some lovely twisty roads near Alton (a friend was on a demonstrator S1000R). I'd forgotten how smooth and fizzing the Blackbird is – such a satisfying bike to punt through some sweeping bends at a decent lick. I find myself riding it like a 600 using 2nd gear until about 60-70mph just to make use of that top end. Good choice!

I went for a little ride today, I feel like my first time out on the 125! I got a bit better after a few miles, but damn is that thing heavy! I feel like I've lost a stone just pushing it about on the drive! I'm looking forward to nicer weather so I can get some miles on it
I'm sure it was the pushing that tired you, learn your lesson!!Push less, ride more!
