I agree the 600's need an update too but the Kawasaki and Triumph have had regular and recent updates in fairness. I think the biggest update we will see to the 600 class is there are no longer any true 600's but a middleweight class of supercharged 400's and naturally asiprated 800's. I believe the supersport racing category is soon to be axed and this would free up the manufacturers up to produce whatever capacity middle weight they see fit. Could and hopefully will produce some great bikes.

Wished mine looked that clean, Kingfixer. It needs a big clean at the weekend to get rid of 7 days and 1900 miles of muck and flies. :D

Don't forget to pull the air filter Duke. Me and Rocket pulled ours and it was like a fly graveyard in there, which has got to seriously restrict air flow for combustion.

Looked at it this morning and patted her on the tank for a job well done yesterday at Silverstone. The. Thoughts about fitting my old rizoma rear sets as I was catching my toes on the Tarmac a few times yesterday, even with my toes firmly high on the peg!



Those aux headlights looks nice and neat tucked in like that (y)

Bumped into some Manc on the side of the road. He took me round some nice roads and to a sweet cafe had a top ride. Then on the way home I found out cats eyes hurt your knee and tried to be the new hood ornament on a Mercedes truck.

On a more tankslap acceptable note, Perkles will be glad to here I test the tens traction control a couple of times today, once on the gas exiting a damp corner and once doing the same thing which meant crossing a bit if overbanding (giggle)

Ordered a pair of Angel ST tyres for the SX.

It's false economy to have a new front S20. They're not cheap and I'll be forever chasing the front and the rear before getting both of them in the same condition to be changed. The ST gets good reviews and are supposed to have good mileage in them. I'll have done over 2000 miles on the new rear S20, so although it's not ready to be changed I've had some mileage from them.
