    You blokes who are into sports bikes just haven't got a fucking brain
    cell between you have you?

    Is this hom? You think it looks shite.

    It doesn't fucking matter what it fucking looks like coz if it is shown
    of at its best no **** will be able to see it will they? The bike will
    be going so fucking fast all they will get to see is a fucking red blur.

    Cans for sports bikes are not fucking ornaments.

    You cannot pose on a stationary bike unless you have your tits out and
    then who is going to look at the cans?

    That wasn't a sprots bike at the end of that link?

    Looked like one to me but then I was busy searching in vain for the tits
    draped over it. Perhaps the lack of tits was a clue? Ahah. What sort
    of bike is it then?

    I think if I posed topless with my tits out on my VFR people would far
    rather stare at my can - and it's the standard Honda one!

    Compared to the joke Dan Dare standard cans that Honda have seen fit to fit
    on the VFR and ST, i think they're a huge improvement. Perhaps they wanted
    to see if people would still buy 'em if they were styled by Disney...

    oh look, someone who's never ridden a VFR has bought Bear's
    propaganda...

  10. I haven't ridden one. I parsed the title as that, first time round,
    that's all.

    and then got a bit carried away...

  12. See reply to Simes' post.

    Agreeing with Bear is just an added bonus ;o)

    Other than the original 916 and its successors, *all* under-seat
    systems look a bit shite.

    A decent can breaks up the otherwise dull lines of the back end
    of a bike. Take the new Suzuki CBR998 R1 as an example.

  14. Heh heh. What me, talk about bikes?! Not likely. Don't know nuthin'
    about them.

    Pipe and slippers, maybe, but not bikes ;o)

    Personally, I think it looks better than the stock things.

    However, in my usual perverse way, I'd not want the extra storage, I'd
    want two fucking fully functional pipes; bugger the torque curve!

    Best VFR I've owned, by far. Third one.

    And can I qualify this by saying the *best* bike I've owned. And I've
    had a few... [1]

    Well, that's "comforting" to know, however I do wonder what the hell it's
    doing to the thing as it's becoming quite regular if I'm doing full-power
    runs.

    It'll get to 7/8k then slip, causing me to back off.

    I don't wanna hafta back off...

    Peril-sensitive, innit.
    Your bike is talking to you, Wik. What it really wants is an uprated
    clutch, capable of taking much more power - and a nice shiny sniffy
    bottle to go with it ...

    Quite. I was reading about the Hawke Kawsaki BSB bike - they have a
    fancy Suter (sp) clutch in their bike - 2.5k it costs. And they fit a
    new one for each meeting...
