I used to love my old 04 Tuono which I traded for a CB1000R which was a big mistake. Ok bike, but pretty boring by comparison. Didnt keep that long then went to an R1 which was fun for a while.
The Jap bikes were easy to live with but I missed the Aprilia twin so I caned the credit card and bought a matt black r.
Now I remember what I had been missing and am trying to ride as much as possible to get over the 600 miles to open her up. Just looking at it brings a smile to my face.
Now roll on the better weather to get some miles under my belt.

I'll second that.

I test rode a CB1000R once for what seemed like a whole day. I was only on it for about 20 minutes....yaaaaaaawwwwwwnn! :unhappy:dozingoff:sleepy
 
That's a lovely looking T, Tony. My local dealer has got one black T left to sell, can't see it lasting long in the showroom.

I had a go on my mates new Fireblade - like you say, rides well but soooooo boring with no personality.
 
Cheers guys. The matt black really does it for me. Next thing to do is to check out flea bay for a set of Arrows or Akras.
 
Same as mine mate , the best colour ! much better than the usual jap crap :thumbup
 
tis nice shotgun, aint it a swine to keep clean though, the matt finish ??

A right royal pain in the arse Dave and im sure Tony will find out soon enough , they always say that black looks good when its clean but mine looks clean until i get to the end of my road !
 
Cracking bike mate, and in the best colour! Enjoy!

Here's mine:

an nae a goldie lookin frame in sight....jist the berries
 
Nice... Andiamo isn't as clean as Mr G's gal... but then I ride her harder, farther and more often... as for the matte... I just wipe her down with a clean dry cloth after her baths. Good enough. It's about the riding, not how you look... Feckin' poofters. And this summer I think yer going to have a ball! Enjoy. And lets see some pics of your adventures.
 
Good choice of bike there Tony,looks great,....and yours Gilo.:thumbup
The black 'uns really are the fastest yer know.:yes:yes:yes
