Just read it Duke. What a career that man has had.

Agree new Fireblade sounds awesome. Hopefully in a few months we will see the machine for real and I hope so much it delivers. The Blade is desperate for a make over and if they go back to the original ethos of lightweight and handling over power it MIGHT be a game changer again like it was 24 years ago. Hopefully Honda are brave enough to reinvent rather than follow.

Let us know what you go for as clearly there are a few you are I interested in. Bike shopping is the best [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

It's on hold tbh Kwacky as enjoying some family fun in the sun.

I want to test ride a 1299 as that and the RSV4 are my shortlist with the new R1 and S1000rr as outside possibles.

Thanks for the link Duke but seen same year with less miles and akrapovic can for a grand less and that's before the dealing starts ;)

There is quite a few appearing on ebay now as the season starts to approach an end. I guess people wish to sell before winter as they know it will be harder to shift out of season.

I'm in no rush and going to see what comes out at the shows and try and get a few test rides next month too also.
