Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Not today, but Saturday I had a go on Dan's Hypermotard 939 SP. Utterly Fooking mental, don't think I've laughed that much on a bike before.
I really really want one, but it's 12k and I'd die!

They do look like great fun. What's the suspension like on them, they look bouncy.

Hard to say, the fooking thing was sliding around all over the place and the throttle is basically an on off switch! Plus the front wheel really doesn't like being on the ground.
The throttle is so snatchy, it's horrible at anything other that full chat which makes slow corners absolutely hilarious.
I instantly got on with it, but I needed a lie down after 20 minutes.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I will be selling it. Need a change it's been just over a year with my current one. Loved it and it has never let me down but need something a bit more meatier however 1000s I can't get insured on, unless I have a spare £8K minimum and there's only a couple of insurers that actually bother to quote me!
I have 3 weeks to sell mine or trade her in which is a possibility unsure if I can be arsed with the bother of trying to sell her myself the process could take ages!!! I have something lined up already! Yay!
