So I didn't want 2 bikes in the garage as one always gets ridden less than the other so decided to do a major cull and sell everything.
Now I got the GSXR with the ideology that it would be easier to sell when the time comes as I would love, no I need the F3 800 but they are wanting mega bucks and to be quite honest since having the 750 since last weekend and limited time on her she rode lovely.
That's the story anyway. Mind you I've had a mare selling the 690. First bloke bought it on best offer on Friday, ready to pick up Monday. Then informs me he can't raise the cash
So back on ebay for the 2nd time and a friend contacted me and said he'd been looking for a minter for ages. Gave him my bank details to transfer the money. Came round to pick it up and decided he couldn't warrant the money
So 3rd time now on an auction instead of classified . Fingers crossed
Blimey thats is a mare! Send me the link of the auction and i'll have a look...
Dude also get a good long ride on anything motard like & mental... Remember the demo Aprilia Dorsoduro I had a couple of years back? It was like a Spaniel, brilliant fun for a while but bloody exhausting after a couple of hours. I was gagging to get the silky smooth power delivery and stability of my Tuono back at the end of the day. And those aren't phrases you often hear in association with a Tuono!

Fair point buddy, I need a major test ride session I reckon my man
Well, although I've not solved the 'what bike next' conundrum, i have looked a little further ahead and have booked a test ride on the 899 Panigale a week on Sunday instead!
Hey, forward planning
Next is to get out on the Yamaha XT600Z and the KTM 690 Duke, lets see if P&H in Crawley will not slap a test ride charge on me
