bike types/decisions [longish]

The one I'd want is the garish red/white/purple colour scheme with the
matching purple wheels. They're a bit heavy though, and people who own
them seem to crash a lot.

Nice. The two-wheeled bling-chariot of choice around Enfield seems
definitively to be the R6, with anodised-blue engine-bolt kit, iridium
screen, and underseat pipe conversion - I've seen loads of them.

the green one looks awful. The black one is nice. I've not seen an
orange on IRL. The pipes are nice conceptually, but would look *much*
better in CF rather than that cheap-ass brass colour.

 

thanks.

 

Close as you're going to get I reckon.

 

Yes, which is why I said a "different aesthetic" - I think I probably
think the coolness factor is more about potential and capabilities
than styling. S'why I always thing race bikes are cool.

 

The 7R is a classic. Never liked the 12 much

Well, I think the first R1 was amazing looking, so the 9R was stuffed
from the get go.

Here we differ - I think Kawasaki's new 'edge' styling is superb.

 

You're right. I think Claire's lovely, but she's up the duff, and
that just really blows it for me. But I still should have lied.

I'm a ****. Somebody shoot me.

 

Which is quite a different thing.

 

ah - right. You wan't to be thought cool by other bikers. I just want
a fanny-magnet.

 

which is why there was a "I'd like the wages from X" type
comment in my original post...

 

Any photos on Angie anywhere online?

 

I'd be amazingly surprised if there were.

 

Bah. The One True 7R is the stylish green/purple one where the colour
changed for the seat unit and rear wheel. M-reg era.

If it wasn't going to cost me over a grand to insure (*boggle*) I'd
buy one tomorrow.

 

Fair enough, if you need such a thing.

 

I'm very particular.

 

A little too particular, perhaps.

 

Yea I suppose so, though I wouldn't have minded being Barry Sheen.

 

Heart says "I am Phil" ?

Supermoto-ed DT125!

 

want <> need.

 

I wouldn't want to be Phil.

a plan!

 

Interesting question - if you were offered a faustian deal such that
you got to be rich, famous, successful, and shag a succession of
gorgeous blondes, BUT had two horrific accidents, loads of operations,
and then died at 52....would you take it?
