Cool....like the decision was in any doubt :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

:P :P WOOHOO !! post some piccies up when you get it. Good choice, you will *not* be dissapointed with it ......... :twisted:

And they are not such a big handful in the tight stuff are they ? Sure, not as featherweight as a 6, or a 10, but still very very chuckable and sure-footed.

220-250 from a tank....wtf........

I get 220 MAX if im in ultra puss mode
Chew thru a rear pilot every 3-4000

Chain is same as smittys, brake pads are about to be ditched in favour of sintered race pads and some loverly DOT5 Fluid injection

And dont worry about the 10 riders, they all just jealous coz they have to hitch up their skirts to go for a ride, especially glen :D

Now now girls, dont get pissy and throw your hand bags at us, just acknowledge your place ad everything will be fine, get in behind

MWAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAH
as for license issues......license longevity is directly linked to dexterity of right wrist.

and dont let a 12's size fool you for a second, you can beast hyper sports bikes on one, especially the current crop of dainese fluro wearing nancy boys (read as R1 owners)

And get an 05, Radial Brake MC fortehwin

Yoshi RS3 gives it a nice agro snarl, and PC3 is an absolute must, Muzzy Velocity Stacks optional but advised :D
If youre living on the edge, youre taking up too much space
