Put yourself first, there's no point exhausting yourself for work.

900cc is not a middleweight. 500cc - 750cc IMO

I've looked back at the miles i have done this year and aside from the Germany trip i do wonder if the expense justifies the cost even though i love my bikes.

I need to make some changes to my work/life balance before buying any new bikes as i have not had enough free time to enjoy them over the last 18 months.
Same here in terms of mileage and outlay.

Best thing I ever did was sort work life balance...

How different is this to now?? Most bikers, myself included, have a pre-mot check list of stuff that has to be replaced to pass...
Not sure what you mean Nutz. Currently I have free choice of which exhaust I fit it doesn't have to be the kawasaki approved Akrapovic end can.

A little bit of silver tape over the 'Off Road Use Only' stamp and my main stealer is happy to pass a TOR 'zorst :D They're not allowed to remove it, and unless the zorst is obviously illegal due to the volume etc....
