Runs, Rideout and general Bike pics.

The blue and white 675 does look very special in the flesh. If only they did a 1000cc one then I would be very tempted.

Looked at the RSV4 also but just wasn't grabbed by the looks or seating position. Sounds awesome though.

I have to admit, in the flesh the RSV4 looks absolutely tiny. Almost "125ish" sized. I'm a bit of a big bugger, 190 lbs and 6ft tall which is why my current RSV fits me so well as it is a bit of a tall and big machine.

I've test ridden an RSV4 though and it was absolutely mindblowing. Seriously. I doubt there would me anything on the road, 2 or 4 wheels that could live with it. It's handling was simply astonishing and the power delivery even for a stock bike with no airbox or chip fettling was awesome.

It's either that or a 999 Duc or an MV4S ( Slightly cheaper option ).

Decisions, decisions.......:D

haha id love a 999R duke but I just dont think I can justify the price for one, especially as it will be 99% of the time tracked and crashing it is inevitable, I could not do that to it :p
Maybe in the future I can get one to decorate the living room....

Yea I agree the 675 in white is lovely in the flesh, its the one I took out on a test ride, lovely to ride, just lacking power, im thinking more like kidloco if it was a 1000cc It would definatelly be that but I rode a gsxr 1000 a few weeks after that test ride and was hooked...
Need to test ride the RSV too but I think thats going to lack something, think I just still love screaming 4's too much.

Is it wrong that I still really want a Katana (since the age of about 7 :D )?

Yep, I struggled to find a bike that felt right, im 6f 3" and around 14 1/2 stone and all the new bikes I sat on just felt like toys.

I normally find yamaha's are normally the most accomadating of the supersports but the R1 has gone from a thing of beauty to being a bit of a dog to look at lately.
 
Any excuse for more shameless pimping of the R1 – a few shots from my bimble to Wales today:

I, along with several other bikes, were also ushered off the set of ‘The Killer Elite’ by the Heddlu, here’s the masses of trailers, we were told that Robert Di Nero and Clive Owen were there :eek:

Only shot I thought to take doh! They kept closing the road off too, would have been a great time to blast about, but the rozzers wouldn’t have been too chuffed :D They also had numerous army lorries with huge cameras pointing out of the back, so I guess this will be some sort of car chase bit... or sheep shagging fest :p

Love the 748. but has to be the single seat one. am I right in saying the single is the Monoposto and the two seat one is the Biposto?

Yea, my first 748 was a bip. Loved it, but like you, I am head over heels for the single seater :)

My first 748.
