If you're not careful you'll get told off for doing that

owning a yellow bike? quite right too.

I'm sure this was the day you, loon, McKean, Mitzy, Fleegle And Jean Philipe were there.

I've been told off a few times over the years for doing a wheelie the length of the start finish straights. Usually the last session.

I don’t have anti wheelie on my bike and I still can’t do that

I've got used to anti wheelie now, it's quite good if I'm honest. I do turn it off every now and then for a bit dicking around.

Mines turned off through the calibration kit so I can’t switch it back on even if I want to!

Hi there, can't see a better place to say hello to this forum than this one, so here we are, I'm from Barcelona, and she's from Austria.

Took this for a test ride today, 796, absolutely smitten with it...

The engine is fantastic, the fuelling is brilliant; roll on from 2kRPM and it's super smooth, and the throttle hasn't a hint of snatch. Just gotta do the sums and decide whether the price hike from the 696 is worth it for the extra power, single sided swing arm and better wheels.

Several sleeps on it, put a deposit down today

Can't wait, should be ready early next week apparently.

Thinking about changing my 16 Tuono 1100 for a 19 just can't make my mind up if it's worth it

4k deposit my bike px and get a new one for same monthly

Or

7k in September and just own mine outright

New one has a few new features plus its fresh. Mine needs it's 18k service by April and will need it's second valve check by September...

[Krikkit]

If it's a good deal it's difficult to say no to shiny new... Is there anything that you desperately want on the new one?

[smcapstick]

Just sold my little Suzuki EN 125. It was a peach of a thing and took me from being an utter novice to achieving world-class [novice] status.

I’ll miss it - it was fantastic.
