Too big an engine for me. Plus I'm not a fan of twins.

But when I was at Kwak I bumped into an old mate, who was in the process of part ex ing his zx10r for a new superduke, providing he likes it when he gets to test ride it.

I've got a 690 for a day when my SX goes in for a service.

It's brand new and has bugger all to do with extremists

Last year I had a zx6r and a Z1000sx to insured. 4 years NCB.
