    ....ok, maybe not quite, but it's a slippery (heh) slope.

    well you kept that impending purchase a bit quiet - or I was asleep.

    so the ZX12 has gone to be replaced by a beak bike. That makes 6 GSs on
    the group that I can think of.

    Enjoy

    So much for the BMW 1100/1150 engine "not having enough go" then? ;-)

    Still, looks good and you _have_ to be pulled less on it...

    I see you've got the crash bars fitted...

    Now, for the full pipe and slippers effect you need to pull the beak
    nonsense off and fit a nice sensible RT fairing.

    Heh, yeah; test rode one a week or so ago on greasy, slippery, nadgery
    roads and had an absolute hoot.

    Granted, giving away 100 bhp to the Kwak, but it's a different kind of
    fun.

    Still managed one, last 175mph scorch down the A3 this afternoon on the
    way to collect it.

    Didn't mention it on here but did have quite a long conversation with
    Verdigris and a couple of others at the NEC.
    Common as muck, eh?
    Heh, I am.

    Ta. :)
