I was getting excited about a month ago by the white one Bike Barn near High Wycombe had up for £6495, loads of extras on it and 1700 miles but I don't know when and where I'd be able to use the performance.

I have a bit of thing for gold forks. They've made a come back on the 2021 GSX-S750 but they're not doing the 2021 colour scheme in red.

Thanks gents.

It has 16k on it, but is in decent enough nick. Paid just over £5k for it. The Paint is Matte Grey and looks fab.

Going for full on codger mode and slap some heated grips on. I'm too old and fat for sportsbikes.

I like my FZ1 but the fueling could be better

Once the weather improves a bit, I'll get it out and let you know my thoughts.

Need to see what the rules are for taking trips out. Ever the conformist.

One thing I instantly noticed was that there was zero free play in the throttle.

The Missenden Flyer has just done a review on one. I like Aviator/Nardo gloss primer grey on some cars but not sure it works with the blue graphics on this bike:

I'll watch all of it later or over the weekend.

I did see that yesterday. I also saw a new one for £9k.

Missebden is pretty close to me, I recognise a lot of the roads he is bumbling about on.

Now need rto sort out with the dealer where the bloody hell the 2nd key is,

Nothing.

Was browsing Auto Trader and thought I'd have a punt at the Suzuki (I've not had a Suzuki before in 22 years of bikes).

A real impulse by.

I wouldn’t be without heated grips (and gloves!) on anything now, although I commute most of the year on mine. Nothing codger about it, we live in a country which is fairly cold for half the year!

Nice bike, enjoy!
