... ? Ohlins front and rear, 113bhp and 72fl/lb of torque. 178kg dry weight. Forged wheels. Shakey Byrne tweeted the other day its one of the most fun bikes he has ridden ever. Whilst i wont have enough talent to ride it like he does, its still all relative. Matt Wildee, PB editor rode it today and ...

Too many desirable bikes out there and not enough time and money to enjoy them.

I think I'm pretty much decided that I'm keeping the ZX6R long term as my sportsbike. It's not got the rider aids most bikes have, which are very tempting and I would love to have, but I like the 600 and I'm spending time and money on it which I'll never get back if I sell it. It's ...

... yet she got a better deal!! I don't tend to go with companies I hear of I go to price and what I get out of it. Eg MCE were great on both times I bikes got nicked they didn't let me down at all either time. And settled up in the time they stated they had to wait.

... of the cheapest comparison price. No thanks! Have you tried Bikesure for the Tankslap discount yet? They also have a cover of £5k for riding other bikes.

I always, always, always lock my bikes up, even in the garage.

Bewiser? Don't. Just don't. A few years ago I had a quote from Be Wiser for two bikes - cbr600rr and a brand new zx6r. I wanted a single policy, fully comp. No problem. They came in cheaper than anyone else and Carole Nash (who I was with) couldn't match them. I ...

... money for the car but nothing happened after that. It's very scary to think people just come snopping around your property and now I have had 2 bikes nicked I don't trust any bugger!

If you get my site blocked for me at work you'll lose more than your bikes

... sounds like bike thieves to me. Very lucky you came out when you did. I reckon their patrolling the area on a cold frosty morning looking for bikes left on idle to warm up whilst the owner nips back into the warmth of the house. I would report the suspicious activity to the local police and ...

That's not sounding very legit. Was he looking for bikes to nick?

... sure he comes out and has a chat with me about what he's done and anything I need to look out for. The guys who work there are all into their bikes and really friendly.

My bikes been off the road for a few weeks thanks to a car driver nudging her from behind... :( all rebuilt now except now my rear huggger is now touching the tyre... and I cannot get the left footpeg to catch on (you know... ...

I've replaced the damaged hardware so just have to patch the fairing up. Be a couple of days work if I could get to it. Seems like I may be back in the house with in the next month so it'll be easier to get work done on the bikes.

All that bling and then the clutch reservoir is the same as my Multi and thousands of other bikes.

I like the bite from the Bendix. I'm running them on both bikes.

Not unusual to see him about testing/riding different bikes, it is however a little strange to see him in the full liveried leathers

... This isn't a dig or anything I know that we have varied riders here so just want to know how long people take to start missing being out on your bikes and if sometimes even when it's cold out do you ever just want to swing one leg over and take her out for a blast?!
