Hey Rocket that's great to know. I've heard 1st gear is taller and a pain at times. I'll have a look to see which year had the steering damper. No problem blade and perkles have the later bike and they have had them longer than me. So I'm sure will give you some more pointers. ...

Re: It's time for a bike change - Cornish is on the hunt aga

... I believe it makes 184bhp with a slip on and air filter and it's a stonking piece of kit! I don't know about any revisions in terms of manufacture year so can't offer advice on that sadly. If I had £9k cash and was looking at one of those, I would strongly consider getting a small loan (or 0% credit ...

... for Monty clearly) it's time for a change of bike. Having loved the MT-09 and I'm not kidding, it's a cracking fun and naughty inducing bike for a year (I know Kwacky I've had it a whole 12ms) which is twice as long as any previous bike I fancy a change and head on back to superbikes...:-) I've ...

Re: CBR600RR no more

... reason manufacturers make 600cc sportsbikes is one simple reason, supersport racing. If supersport racing was to end which I'm sure I heard last year the class was soon to end, would it truly be a bad thing ? It would free up manufacturers to make whatever they wanted to make as there middleweight ...

I may be wrong but I suspect someone, somewhere, has had a heart to heart with him and told him if he didn't win a TT on that Beemer last year he was never going to, that same conversation probably went on to point out that fame/notoriety is a passing thing and if he wanted to be set for life, ...

Re: CBR600RR no more

Unless Yamaha or Kawasaki are prepared to invest in new engines, my guess is they will all disappear at the end of the year. They just don't sell in big enough numbers to justify the investment especially with Kawasakis rumoured 800cc supercharged sports bike next year.
