    In my 12 months riding career and in my quest for a new (to me) bike, I have
    now ridden the following:

    Warrior 125 (hope my mates don't see me)
    Honda CG125 (An almost religious experience in hindsight)
    Kawasaki ER-5 (Predictable)
    Bandit 600 Naked (Couldn't stop red lining it)
    Aprilia Pegaso 650 (Lots of low down torque)
    BMW F650 (As above)
    Honda CB500 Faired (Ooh nice, thanks serf)
    Yamaha TDM850 (Pulls from 0 to 80 in 3rd, nice for a lazy git like me)
    Honda CB500 Naked (It's like you have always been riding it straight away)

    Don't seem much point buying another bike, never ridden so much since I sold
    the Bandit :)

    At the moment my preference is for twins after riding the Bandit for 10
    months.

    Your right about the V twins though, only ones I have come across is the
    SV650... not my thing.

    I'm sorry to have to correct you, but on average, they each have three.

    End Of Summer Meet in a few weeks time ...

    Just like the angle between these two fingers I'm waving at the screen,
    then.

    Sorry, Pip, but I can't think of anyone less able to carry off an
    innocent look. Except perhaps Lady Nina.
