Craig can you tell me how high the seat is and how tall you are?

It's a pretty tall bike - 82cm seat height. I think the Nuda is a fair bit taller than that?

I'm 186cm, 33cm inner leg. It's perfect for me, can comfortably flat foot it.

Same seat height as the street triple? If so it'll be fine, I could flat foot that bike no problem.

Can we open a book on whether Clov!s keeps the speed ('cos let's be honest, there's no way you're not getting one) or flogs it before the end of the year?

The Street is 80cm I think, so slightly shorter.

New bike by July.

Diddums · 15 Feb 2017 at 20:20

I'm going August. Second half to be exact.

tom_e · 15 Feb 2017 at 20:22

I'm going with mid September.

Running insurance quotes on a 2013+ Daytona 675R and...

It's hundreds cheaper than my 701(!) Thats absolutely nuts tbh. Could get it for just over £300 fully comp... my 701 was over £600 for the year.

That's because your 701 is a hooligan bike other hooligans love to steal

You could be on to something there.. the only people I ever see checking my bike out, or giving me a thumbs up, look dodgy as ****

Captain · 15 Feb 2017 at 20:47

Bloody hell, how often do you lot think I change bikes?

Diddums · 15 Feb 2017 at 20:48

Anywhere between 3 and 9 months.

Had the street triple for 3 months, the Nuda for 7 weeks and the MT07 for 15 weeks

Diddums · 15 Feb 2017 at 21:11

Ok, so anywhere between two and nine months then

I stand corrected

Craig321 · 15 Feb 2017 at 21:46

He'll keep the Speed cos they're amazing.

I did email as well, but thanks for the wipes Clov!s

. Gonna give them a go this weekend I think - bike doesn't need a full water wash at the moment, so it's a good opportunity to try

TallPaul_S · 15 Feb 2017 at 22:07

Speed triple any day over the CB1000R - no contest.

I reckon you'll have the next bike until June/July

russell664 · 15 Feb 2017 at 22:19

The speed triple looks like an awesome machine, very flickable. Hooligan machine, can't wait to ride one.

They're very nice bikes but flickable is definitely a term better used to describe the street triple.

TallPaul_S · 15 Feb 2017 at 23:40

Wheeliebility.

That's more apt

Wow! I'm looking at £300 for the CBR with no security devices and classed as on the drive (out the back in reality) and I live on the edge of an estate
