Interesting post there, Ian - good find :)

Sadly I'll never be able to ride any of these, so at least I can read about them :wink:

well looks like i only have 2 more bikes to get. Seeming as though the 12 will be staying in the family and i will wait a bit longer to get the 14. Then i just have to get myself a 10 to complete the triple.. :twisted:

yup..i rode the 10...loved it...but thought a 12 would be better suited..to slow me down a touch, but also for the touring/2 up side of things...but then considered a 14..but i dont like them...so back to a 12..which i sat on..and wasnt that fussed...so now i dunno what to do...mind u its gunna b 2 yrs before i can get insurance neway...
