First Impressions: Trophy 1200

I get the impression that it's a very Essexy bit of Kent.

 

I don't think they're that far apart, in a mental sense, never mind physical
sense, although where Robbo is (or at least was), is nowhere near as bad as
places such as Erith.

 

Jeeze, I've bettered that on my Gixxer.

 

The Medway Taaaahns, innit?

 

Isn't that to be expected? Smaller engine, much less weight, better
aerodynamics etc.

That is easy. The thick **** can't work out how to get the zip open on
his purse to pay the toll.

 

Izzit bollocks.

It's where Bear was born and bred, iirc.

And me, if you count Falconwood as NW Kent.

 

But that's only on a run. It drops quite a bit if I play.

 

I suspect you use a lot more of the available ponies when playing, &
hence more fuel. Sitting at 80 odd probably doesn't even use a 1/4 of
the available power, unless you're towing a parachute.

 

On an mway cruise at a good portion faster than that the 955i returns
<counts on fingers> about 42mpg.

I thrashed the nuts off the MZ weekend before last for about 85mpg

 

The early Trophy - the more powerful, sportier-styled ones - were even
worse.....

 

I know. But it's a Haynes: I'm doing him a worse turn by leaving the whole
thing readable.

 

Come back to reality Auvache.
Bikes don't pay the toll you sad flatlands cnut.
