    This is beside the point. My current commute is slightly more than 6 miles.
    I use the VFR, riding like a **** and tearing along the dotted line in the
    approved style. Having also a Z200 at my disposal, I could very well pov
    along at 75mpg and arrive in only a few minutes more. That's hardly
    relevant. It will be a pretty pass when a motorcyclist's commute is less
    fun than his working day.

    Depends on whose hands it's in. I did have a girlfriend who managed to
    put a valve through a piston on a C90. She also managed to seize the
    crank on a GT550, and those were supposedly bombproof too.

    Except someone, somewhere really is the 'best' person on usenet.
    Perhaps not in this group though.

    But I *am* on this group.

    You're not quite getting this group are you?
    Come and grab hold of it and you'll know for sure.
    Nope, you did that already.
    And I thought you said you weren't a newbie.

    I'm not sure what you mean by that, but it is a 4-stroke engine if that
    whats what you mean.

    That's what he meant. Personally, I don't think you can go wrong with a
    C-90. Probably the hardiest bike ever made for commuting.

    Well, whereas that doesn't prove my theory, it doesn't help to
    disprove it either. No offence, like...

    I don't see that as a compliment, I wouldn't waste my breath.
    You really don't have a clue, do you?
    Get back in your pram. If you're trying to save a few quid, walk, run
    or buy a pushbike. Stop bloody whinging.

    If you are extremely mental you can scrape the bottom of the front
    mudguard where it flares out on older models.
