    Doubt it. My leathers (which are >3 stone too large for me now) tend
    to get there first. Braces are the only way to hold them on you
    see......

  14. Rebuilt and revalved rear shock - a ton. Same for the forks. Braided
    hoses ukp50 or 60. Cans a couple of hundred. Jetting and setting up,
    maybe another 50 quid. 600 sovs tops.
    Get the 750 - far and away the toughest of the old two-valve engines,
    Sweeter than the 900 by miles, pokier than the 600 by miles.

    The S4 Monster looks gash IMHO. The watercooled lump doesn't sit well in
    a naked bike.
    Bloody awful
    Nice.

  16. Triumph Speed Triple
    Yamaha TDM 900
    Africa Twin
    Honda CB1300 - probably outside of your budget but lovely IMO.
    Second Hand R1100/1150GS

    Hmmm, OK. Sounds better.
    I know what you mean, though I quite like it in a perverse kind of
    way.
    Seems to be the front runner ATM

    The ZRX is group 13 and as easy to ride as an SV650.
