NEC Point of Interest

While perusing the delights of the Superbike stand on Friday I caught sight
of a motorbike. A peripheral vision sort of episode. Yawn it's that Dynomite
R1 carbon fibre extravaganza seen last year. Oh hold on...

WTF
OMG
FFS

It is now the Supercharged Dynomite R1, the one with the wastgate starting
at 200 rear wheel ponies, the one with a conversion so subtle and well done
you would miss it 9 times out of 10.

Well, the standard R1 was always a mundane and boringly stable plot.

 

Never mind that, did you get to clock the Z750 for me?

Not a low seat height by your standards of low.
Triumph Bonneville T100 had a nice low seat though as did one of the Cagiva
Raptor type things.

There was a BMW 1150GS variant, the Adventurer, I couldn't even get a toe
down it was so tall.

I don't think I've ever heard that one.

Well, 30.7 (I think that's what I read) isn't *too* bad, providing the
bike isn't too wide instead. I tried the Triumph range a couple of years
ago and, although one of the models had a low seat height the width meant
it may as well have been 34 inches tall.

I tried to sit on a trails bike at the NEC once, but I gave up. I got on
it ok but I wasn't heavy enough to compress the shock.

There's a clue in the song title ;-)

And remember folks, it's ironic, which excuses everything!

You're fucked, then. It's barely smaller than the Zed Thou. In fact, I
don't know if it /is/ any smaller than the Zed Thou...

Suze was mostly pissed off at this year's show...

I was a bit disapointed too.
